- FIGURE 10-4. For low LET radiations, such as x-rays and gamma-rays
- excess cancer incidence increases as a linear-quadratic function of
- dose if the radiation is delivered in an acute exposure at high
- dose-rate. At low dose-rate, cancer incidence increases as a linear
- function of dose; the dose-response relation is an extrapolation of
- the initial slope of the high-dose-rate curve.
