Abstract
This study aims to get more accurate and objective result by quantifying the result for the sperm changes through the quantitative analysis by the image processing based on the image obtained microscopically for the testicle cell and sperm change appeared with the passage of time when the radiation is irradiated to the white rat testicle. This study has targeted the white rat of 8 weeks lifespan, the X-ray of 6 MV with 1 time of 2 Gy has been irradiated to the whole body. The testicles of 5 rats at each test group immediately after irradiation, after 2 hours of irradiation, 4 hours, 8 hours and 24 hours has been respectively extracted targeting all 30 white rats of normal control group not irradiated by the radiation and the test group. The state of testicle cell and sperm has been observed in the normal control group and the test group by implementing Periodic acid Schiff dyeing after extraction. 24 hours after irradiation, a gradual decrease in sperm count and testicular cells qualitatively and quantitatively that were identified as significant.
