Tissue reaction

Injury in populations of normal cells characterised by a threshold dose and an increase in the severity of the reaction as the dose is increased further. Tissue reactions were previously called ‘deterministic effects’. Tissue reactions are modifiable by post irradiation procedures including health care and biological response modifiers.

Injury in populations of cells characterised by a threshold dose and an increase in the severity of the reaction as the dose is increased further. Tissue reactions are also termed ‘deterministic effects’. In some cases tissue reactions are modifiable by post irradiation procedures including biological response modifiers.

Injury in populations of cells characterised by a threshold dose and an increase in the severity of the reaction as the dose is increased further. Tissue reactions were previously called ‘deterministic effects’. In some cases tissue reactions are modifiable by post irradiation procedures including health care and biological response modifiers.

Injury in populations of cells, characterised by a threshold dose and an increase in the severity of the reaction as the dose is increased further. Also termed ‘deterministic effect’. In some cases, these effects are modifiable by post irradiation procedures including biological response modifiers.
