abstract = {The research on radiation therapy for cancer treatment is
of the highest importance to society, ascancer is a leading
cause of death. Conventional radiation therapy is conducted
with X-rayradiation; however, new treatments are being
researched using other types of ionizing radiationto deliver
radiation doses more precisely to tumours while sparing
healthy tissue and overcomingradioresistant cancers. The
primary approach to examine the radiobiological effects on
the levelof entire organisms is to use animal models such as
Zebrafish embryos. Zebrafish embryos area high-throughput
model for studying developmental and environmental biology.
Zebrafish arerelatively easy to care for and maintain.Most
importantly, Zebrafish develop most of their organs within
five days, thus enabling a completedevelopmental assessment
within this timeframe. Parameters that can signify radiation
damageare spinal curvature, pericardial edema, body size,
eye diameter and survival rate. With anincrease in
irradiation dose applied to the embryo, these morphological
endpoints change; spinalcurvature and pericardial edema
increase in number and severity, while body size and eye
diameterdecrease. The morphological deformities increase
after 8Gy X-ray irradiation, up to 15Gy, afterwhich
mortality rises, until 20Gy, at which point embryo mortality
reaches $100\%.These$ results can aid in comparing other
types of irradiation, as the handling of the Zebrafish
embryosand the expected outcomes of conventional X-ray
irradiation are},
