Figure 4From: Establishment of a small animal tumour model for in vivo studies with low energy laser accelerated particlesDose dependent tumour volume doubling times for 200 kV X-ray irradiation. KHT tumour volume doubling times for the unirradiated control (8 mice) and after irradiation with 200 kV X-rays (0 Gy (4); 3.8 Gy (8); 7.6 Gy (10); 9.5 Gy (8); 13.2 Gy (7)) determined on basis of the tumour volume at which the animals were included in the experiment. Compared to the unirradiated control the VDT values for doses of 7.5 Gy and higher were significantly increased (*p < 0.05, ***p < 0.001).Back to article page
