Effects of fractionated irradiation on bone blood flow during and some months after the radiotherapy were measured with a 133Xe washout method from the greater trochanteric regions of human femurs. The results suggest that at low dose levels (CRE from 250 to 1050 reu) the decrease in bone blood flow is small. However, there seems to be a significant decrease in blood flow (about 50%) several months after the irradiation.
