Due to the low energy and superficial penetration in tissue of β particles from Sr-90 radiation, cutaneous radiation injury (CRI) is a major concern. In the case of a radiation incident, the dose to the skin is unlikely to be known, but can be estimated with a thorough understanding of the surface dosimetry of Sr-90. The physics of Sr-90 is examined as part of a larger project to study Grade III CRI in a porcine model and examine the efficacy of KeraStat<super>TM</super>, a topical product with the potential to heal CRI. en Wake Forest University Cutaneous Radiation Injury Porcine Model Radiological Incident Skin Irradiation Strontium-90 A Sr-90 Irradiation Device for the Study of Cutaneous Radiation Injury from a Radiological Incident Dissertation Bourland, John D Munley, Michael T Salsbury, Fred R Guthold, Martin Tytell, Michael Physics forever 10000-01-01 open.access
