title: [Radiobiological assessment of radiation injuries in various regimens of total body irradiation].
abstract: A radiobiological evaluation of dose-time regimens of total body irradiation (TBI) using a single-exposure multi-target (MM) and a linear-quadratic (LQM) models of cell destruction has been carried out. An equivalent of single dose of acute irradiation was used as a criterion of biological effect of LQM. The latter proved useful in analyzing all kinds of dose-time regimens of TBI including those employing different doses. Practically speaking, single exposure to 5 Gy and irradiation by three daily fractions in a total dose of 10 Gy may be recommended for wide clinical application.
