Response of ciliated cells during irradiation at different dose rates.
Early radiation effects on the physiologic activity of ciliated cells during exposure have been investigated at 0.34Gy/s and 0.05 Gy/s. The results obtained indicate a more intense early biologic effect at a higher dose rate. The mechanisms of radiation injury are discussed.
