Abstract
The interaction between radiology and radiotherapy is well served by the radiobiologist’s contribution to the development and evaluation of experimental models simulating the clinical situation. The initiation of clinical studies at the Research Institute of Medical Radiology (now-Medical Radiological Research Center) in 1973 employing Cf-252 sources and in 1974 employing fission neutron beam provided the opportunity to start a program of radiobiological research, some of whose results are summarized here.
