Electron dose rate and oxygen depletion protect zebrafish embryos from radiation damage

CONCLUSION: The Flash experiment at ELBE showed that the zebrafish embryo model is appropriate for studying the radiobiological response of high dose rate irradiation. The applied high pulse dose rate was confirmed as important beam parameter as well as the pivotal role of pO2 during irradiation.PMID:33587970 | DOI:10.1016/j.radonc.2021.02.003
