Abstract

The effect of temperature and thermal dose referenced at 43/spl deg/C on the attenuation and absorption was studied in dog muscle, liver and kidney in vitro. It was found that the attenuation and absorption increased for temperatures higher than 50/spl deg/C, and eventually reached a maximum at 65/spl deg/C. The change in attenuation or absorption when necrosis is produced was to about twice the value at 37/spl deg/C. The change in attenuation or absorption occurred at thermal doses of 100-1000 min which corresponds to the range of threshold of necrosis. The maximum attenuation or absorption was reached at thermal dosages in the order of 10/sup 7/ min.
