The RBE for 125I relative to 30 keV X-rays, 4 MeV X-rays and 137Cs gamma rays was determined using the induction of micronuclei in human lymphocytes as the biological test system. The 125I photons were as effective as the 30 keV X-rays. If a micronuclei count of 50 per 1500 cells is used as the endpoint, the RBE for 125I was found to be about 1.8 and 1.6 when 4 MeV X-rays and 137Cs gamma rays were used as the reference radiation, respectively.
以人淋巴细胞中微核的诱导作为生物学测试系统，测定了¹²⁵I相对于30keV X射线、4MeV X射线和¹³⁷Csγ射线的相对生物效应（RBE）。¹²⁵I光子与30keV X射线的效果相同。若将每1500个细胞中50个微核的计数作为终点指标，则当分别以4MeV X射线和¹³⁷Csγ射线作为参考辐射时，¹²⁵I的RBE分别约为1.8和1.6。
