Exposure To X-Radiation Of Localized Areas Of Mammalian Skin Conditioned To Different Levels Of Metabolic Activity, James A. Belli May 1952

Exposure To X-Radiation Of Localized Areas Of Mammalian Skin Conditioned To Different Levels Of Metabolic Activity, James A. Belli

Bachelors’ Theses

There appears to be an important relationship between the overall metabolic rate prevailing in a protoplasmic system at the time of exposure to ionizing radiations and the extent of the damage effected by such radiation. It is with this issue that the present investigation is concerned.

Radiation biologists and clinical radiologists are coming to realize the importance of this problem. This increasing interest has suggested several new avenues of approach to the radiobiologist toward the elucidation of the more subtle changes occurring in protoplasmic system s exposed to radi­ation. Clinical radiology has availed itself of certain evi­dence (in a yet …
