The 4000 Curie Cobalt 60 Therapy Installation at Radiumhemmet

Multicurie Cobalt 60 Units for Radiation Therapy.

Dosimetric Conformity of Cobalt-60 (Co) Beams

Objective: The radiation dosimetry is the output measurement of radiation generating source/ machine and its ambition is to ensure that the teletherapy units’ outputs are within limits. In the current article, the dosimetry of Cobalt-60 (Co 60 ) teletherapy units at Nuclear Institute of Medicine and Radiotherapy (NIMRA), Jamshoro Pakistan was studied. As Co 60 is undergo decay process, the outp...

Influence of Cobalt (60) radiation on the Rat Lung

This study we tried to investigate the effect of Cobalt radiation in lung of Wistar rats weighing 160 to 180 gr. A total of 60 rats were divided into 4 groups with 15 rats each.T1, First group as control group did not receive any radiation, T2) was irradiated with 5 Gy, T3) was irradiated with 7.5 Gy, T4) ws irradiated with 12 Gy. These findings demonstrate dosage d.ependent changes in differen...

The Effect of Cobalt-60 Gamma Radiation on Passive Immunity *

A considerable amount of work has been reported in the literature on the effect of x-rays on antibody formation and immunity. With the exception of the reports from our laboratory,5"' the depressing effect of cobalt-60 gamma radiation upon immunity and antibody formation has not been reported. It would seem logical that x-rays and gamma rays should have a similar physiological effect. However, ...
