The Clinical Physiology of Dogs Exposed to Single Total-Body Doses of X-Rays

A rational approach to therapy for irradiation damage must be based upon knowledge of the nature of the damage. This study of clinical physiology of dogs exposed to singe doses of total body X-radiation was undertaken to provide such a basis for therapy and to provide a basis for descriptions of the effects of specific project hazards.
