Fig 3. The mean and effective sterilizing doses of radiation to the human ovary.

The blue line shows the radiation in Gy needed to sterilize 50% of subjects. The red line shows the radiation in Gy needed to sterilize 97.5% of subjects. The predictions are derived from the Wallace-Kelsey model of NGF population in healthy females [20], and the estimated radio sensitivity of the human NGFs [9].
