Large-scale, quickly-repaired sublethal damage is caused by high-LET radiation

Large-scale, quickly-repaired sublethal damage is caused by high-LET radiation
  • Different doses and temporal separations of X-rays, alpha particles, or combinations were applied to cells.
  • There is agreement that high-LET radiation has a high Relative Biological Effectiveness (RBE) when delivered as a single treatment.
  • But how it interacts with radiations of different qualities, such as X-rays, is less clear.
