Summary: | The development of technologies for using the Novac-11 pulsed electron accelerator in radiation therapy of animals with spontaneous neoplasms requires dosimetric and radiobiological studies. The studies were performed on cultured Chinese hamster V-79 fibroblasts after irradiation with 10 MeV electrons in a dose range up to 12 Gy and
60
Co γ-radiation. Chemical dosimeters FBX and Fricke were used as additional test-systems. The depth dose curves were measured and the maximum dose depth of the electron beam was determined in tissue-equivalent phantoms. Cell survival and the data of chemical dosimetric systems showed that the effects of electron irradiation did not differ from that of
60
Co γ-radiation. It was concluded that the use of Novac-11 in the therapy of animals with spontaneous neoplasms is advisable. |
