Figure 8. Schematic overview of high-LET radiation-induced persistent oxidative stress.
A) Low-LET γ radiation is sparsely ionizing and has very few secondary tracks. B) A primary track of high-LET radiation is densely ionizing and has more secondary tracks than low-LET radiation. I: cell directly hit by a primary track, II: bystander cell, III: cell hit by secondary delta-ray tracks.
