Model for the Accumulation of Cases of Pulmonary Malignancy in Time when Dose Is Accumulated in Time

摘要

These notes are directed primarily at the formulation of the accumulation of resulting cases of pulmonary malignancy with time when a dose of ionizing radiation (e.g., from airborne short-lived daughters of Rn-222) is protracted in time and when the accumulation of tumours from receipt of the dose occurs after an induction-latent period. The model developed is quite general in that it will allow for the incorporation of the receipt of dose as functions of time, dose-response functions, and functions of time for the accumulation of tumours following and resulting from the receipt of a dose of ionizing radiation.
