Designing a linear accelerator-based "X irradiation system" for platelet products: an efficient, safe, accessible and cost-effective alternative for conventional X- or gamma irradiators.

X-irradiation of blood products is an alternative for gamma-ray to prevent post-transfusion GvHD. However, commercial X-irradiators are not widely available while little is known about their safety and efficacy for platelet products. This study introduces an efficient, accessible and cost-effective ... View More
