Abstract

Skin damage in mice given whole-body irradiation of 30 kVp soft X-ray on the back was observed for 40 days. Depilation and ulceration were seen after irradiation of 2400-12000 R, and the time of appearance and duration of such symptoms were found to be in inverse proportion to be in inverse proportion to the irradiated dose. For irradiation of 3000-7000 R, damages quantitated from the irradiation dose and score table showed a significant linear relation. Irradiation of 4000 R showed hardly any effect on peripheral erythrocytes and total leucotytes.
