Radiological injuries under low energy x-rays in mice depending on dose and protocol: comparative characterization of lesion severity and impact of thebone response on retrospective dose estimations.

. To improve our knowledge about the biological effects of over exposures involving low-energy x-rays, we developed and characterized a preclinical mouse model allowing to mimic different lesion severity degrees induced by 80 kV x-ray depending on the dose and protocol (single or repeated exposure)..
