مستخلص: An apparatus for the partial-body ß irradiation of mice using 90Sr is described.Two groups of mice, hairless and CBA, were irradiated over one, two or three zones (each approximately one-fifth of the total body area) with a range of surface dose from 3000 to 24,000 rads.As well as the expected burns of the skin, lesions of the intestine also occurred. Both types of damage are described and their killing effects discussed. No worthwhile LD50values for skin burns could be obtained due to the interaction of these two lesions.The skin burns of the hairless mice developed sooner and produced a greater mortality than those of the CBA mice and the possible explanations for this are discussed.
