出處：分子輻射生物學 7/e p.493The extent of the interaction of heat and radiation can be expressed in terms of the thermal enhancement ratio (TER), defined as the ratio of doses of x-rays required to produce a given level of biologic damage with and without the application of heat.The TER has been measured for various normal tissues, including skin, cartilage, and intestinal epithelium. The data form a consistent pattern of increasing TER with increasing temperature, up to a value of about 2 for a 1-hour heat treatment (HT) at 43° C...
