[Behaviour of the peripheric leucocyte count and leucocyte resistance in rat after acute whole-body irradiation with 60Co-gamma-rays (author's transl)].

: Wistar-rats were exposed to whole-body 60Co gamma irradiation and underwent continuous blood analysis through 70 days. By means of these experiments information as to the reliability of "values of the leucocyte resistance against ultrasound (LRW)" should be obtained in order to diagnose radiation injury. For all the dose ranges studied (from 10 R to 500 R) it was possible to ascertain a qualitatively radiation-specific LRW-curve being independent of the behaviour of peripheric leucocyte counts.
