The normal liver has generally been considered an organ resistent to x-ray irradiation when given in the usual therapeutic range. Recent observation based on study of liver scans of patients undergoing irradiation for control of testicular tumors suggest, however, that the liver may in fact be quite sensitive to x-irradiation. Case ( 1 ) reviewed the early literature and cited the experimental work of Seklin in 1903-04 who found no histologic differences between irradiated and nonirradiated liver cells. Heinke (1904) confirmed the work of Seldin. Werthin (1905) had demonstrated atrophy, chronic passive congestion and minimal parenchymal degeneration in the liver of humans who were treated by irradia tion, but the effects were nonspecific and the causal relationship of the irradia tion could not be established definitely. Tribondeau and Hudelet (1907) using fractionated doseage in diabetics were unable to demonstrate definite damage. Ellinger( 2) has stated no agreement exists among clinicians and investigators as to the radiosensitivity or radioresistence of the liver. A threshold for liver cell injury exists which approximately equals the LD8O for any species of animal and if fractionated irradiation is administered, liver damage will result only after an absolute lethal dose is given. He also pointed out that liver cell death may be caused indirectly by the action of histamine, and the total effect of liver damage
