Abstract:Background and Purpose
Paralysis observed during a study of vertebral bone tolerance to single-session irradiation led to further study of the dose-related incidence of motor peripheral neuropathy.
Materials and Methods
During a bone tolerance study, cervical spinal nerves of 15 minipigs received bilateral irradiation to levels C5–C8 distributed into three dose groups with mean maximum spinal nerve doses of 16.9±0.3Gy(n=5), 18.7±0.5Gy(n=5), and 24.3±0.8Gy(n=5). Changes developing in the gait of the group of … Show more
