Abstract:
Objective:To understand the normative status of physical dose description in domestic radiobiology studies through literature study.Methods:According to the scoring system recommended by the National Cancer Institute (NCI) and Desrosiers et al, evaluate (full Score: 10 points) the normalization of physical dosimetry description in the radiobiology-related articles published in two important journals, Chinese Journal of Radiation Oncology and Chinese Journal of Radiological Medicine and Protection, in past 5 years.Results:A total of 222 relevant articles from these two journals were included, and a median score of 5.0 was evaluated. Among them, 72.1% of the literatures scored 4.0-7.0 points, 68.0% of the literatures scored ≤5.5 points, and 18.5% scored ≤3.0 points. 90.1% and 97.7% of the literatures described " the type of ray" and " absorbed dose" , with the highest average score (0.90 and 0.98 points) respectively. The lowest average score of " dosimetry calibration" was 0 point.Conclusions:Although the most of literatures described " the type of ray" and " absorbed dose" , most other details of dosimetric parameters were not reported. Therefore, there is a deficiency in the standardized description of physical dosimetry in domestic radiobiology literatures, which may affect the reproducibility and interpretability of research result.
