Effect of Roentgen Irradiation on the Elasticity of Frog Skin

R. M. Bergström, R. Blåfield, Ari Salmi

Abstract

I t is known that ionizing radiation causes changes in the histologic structure of the skin dependent on the quality and quantity of the irradiation employed (KAHLSTORF 1930, CZUNFT & GAAL 1935).Signs of an inflammatory process are nearly always present and changes in the collagenous and elastic fibres also appear.The collagenous fibres are more radiosensitive than the elastic fibres
