We designed and developed a multiwell tissue culture plate irradiation setup, and intensity modulated radiotherapy plans were generated for 96-, 24-, and 6-well tissue culture plates. We demonstrated concordance between planned and measured/imaged radiation dose profiles using radiochromic film, a 2D ion chamber array, and an electronic portal-imaging device. Cell viability, clonogenic potential, and γ-H2AX foci analyses showed no significant differences between intensity-modulated radiotherapy and open-field, homogeneous irradiations. This novel platform may help to expedite radiobiology experiments within a clinical environment and may be used for wide-ranging ex vivo radiobiology applications. |
