Abstract
In-vitro dose response curves were built with 6â¯MV X-ray for a dose range of 0.1-6â¯Gy, at a dose rate of 300â¯cGy/min, using Linear Accelerator (LINAC, SIMENS PRIMUS) for Cytokinesis-Block Micronucleus (CBMN) and Dicentric Chromosome Aberration assay (DCA). The dose response curves constructed up to 6â¯Gy and also up to 4â¯Gy using the manual method were compared to those curves obtained with the software program such as CABAS (V.2) and Dose Estimate software (V.5.2). The alpha and beta coefficients for MN and CA obtained for the curves constructed up to 6â¯Gy showed variation compared to those obtained in dose response curve constructed up to 4â¯Gy. However, the doses estimated based on these coefficients did not show much variation. The results are discussed in this paper.
