Areas of skin have been irradiated using a radio-strontium plaque giving 800 to 1100 rad. Visual ranking of the reactions produced proved to be the best method of measuring the response. Erythema was poorly related to dose but in most cases the amount of pigmentation produced was directly related to it. This system, for use in the testing of radiosensitisers, allows a quantitative estimate of enhancement of response to be made.
