A 0.5-cm diameter X-ray beam of a specified quality, directed at the mandibular molar region of adult male albino rats, was shown to destroy osteocytes in increasing amounts according to the radiation quantity used. The interval between exposure and the time rats were killed for examination appeared irrelevant. Osteocytic death seemed to be a function of exposure time.
