Zusammenfassung:Radiation induced brachial plexus lesions were correlated to the dose-time-fraction schedule. Ellis' formula was used and the mathematical treatments were made according to KIRK et coll. (1971). It was found that the frequency of lesions increases very rapidly for small increases of CRE over a certain level.
