We designed and developed a multiwell tissue culture plate irradiation setup, and intensity modulated radiotherapy plans were generated for 96-, 24-, and 6-well tissue culture plates. We demonstrated concordance between planned and measured/imaged radiation dose profiles using radiochromic film, a 2D ion chamber array, and an electronic portal-imaging device. Cell viability, clonogenic potential, and g-H2AX foci analyses showed no significant differences between intensity-modulated radiotherapy and open-field, homogeneous irradiations. This novel platform may help to expedite radiobiology experiments within a clinical environment and may be used for wide-ranging ex vivo radiobiology applications.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
