Abstract
The integral doses produced in the body for the same tumor doses have been collected for 200 Kev x rays, cobalt -60 gamma-rays, 31 Mev x rays, and electron beams of optimal energy and compared with each other. The data have been taken in part from publications, in part from own measuremnents. Electron beams of optimal energy give satisfactory deep doses and are much more favorable for all practicaliy existing tumor depths than other kinds of rays. (auth)
