title: Radiation toxicology: quantitative radiation pathology for predicting effects.
abstract: Radiation toxicology is the quantification of radiation pathophysiology. It is based upon the development of more precise and accurate radiation dose response data in humans. Such information is particularly important because of the development of combined radiation therapy and chemotherapy. The search for models which will predict radiation injury is presented along with innovative approaches to the 3-dimensional reconstruction of isodose curves in autopsy material, and ultrastructural studies.
