BIOLOGICAL DOSIMETRY OF ABSORBED RADIATION DOSE BASED ON THE FREQUENCIES OF CHROMOSOMAL ABERRATIONS IN HUMAN LYMPHOCYTES

摘要

In the investigation of radiation accidents, it is important to estimate the dose absorbed by exposed persons in order to plan their therapy. For these tasks informations such as magnitude of dose received, as external or internal radiation, or as partial or whole body irradiation are necessary. For example following exposure to high doses (> 5 Gy) of low LET radiation the victim may need bone marrow transplantation and in case of partial body exposure to high doses the victim may be isolated and kept under very hygienic conditions in order to allow renooulation from surviving stem cells in the bone marrow.
