Aims:

Evaluation of dose rate effects and tissue specific RBE’s for major at risk tissues using chronic mixed-field radiation with the following aims:


Specific aims

  • Aim 1 (Cancer): Research to improve accuracy of dose and dose-rate effectiveness factor (DDREF) estimates for tumorigenesis and evidence on whether risk is linear or additive over mixed high and low LET radiation exposure

  • Aim 2 (Cancer): Determine tissue specific mixed field RBE values for tumorigenesis for major at risk tissues

  • Aim 3 (CVD): Examine dose thresholds, dose-rate dependence and mixed field effects on CVD disease latency and progression; evaluate RBEs

  • Aim 4 (late CNS): Examine dose thresholds, dose-rate dependence and mixed field effects for late behavioral and neurodegenerative CNS diseases; evaluate RBEs

  • Aim 5 (CVD): Evaluate effects of chronic space radiation exposures on ‘standard of care’ clinical markers for CVD effects.

Secondary aims:

  • Aim 6: Assess the impact of simulated low dose GCR exposures on the health of the blood forming organs.

 

Studies will generate mixed field dose response curves to evaluate thresholds and RBE’s.
