Discussion of radiobiological factors operating in low dose rate irradiation.
Low dose rate irradiation may have advantages over fractionated daily irradiation apart from the small treatment volume, connected with curie therapy. Radiobiological factors such as low OER with dose and low dose rate, per cell cycle time and redistribution effects are discussed.
