This study shows for the first time that normal brain tissue toxicities after WBI can be reduced with increased dose rate. Spatial memory is preserved after WBI with mean dose rates above 100Gy/s, whereas 10Gy WBI at a conventional radiotherapy dose rate (0.1Gy/s) totally impairs spatial memory.
本研究首次表明,提高剂量率可降低 WBI 后的正常脑组织毒性。在平均剂量率高于 100Gy/s 时,WBI 后空间记忆得以保留,而在传统放疗剂量率(0.1Gy/s)下进行 10Gy 的 WBI 则会完全损害空间记忆。
