Description/Abstract:
IN A SERIOUS RADIATION ACCIDENT, A VICTIM WAS EXPOSED TO RADIATIONS IN THE VICINITY OF AN ELECTRON BEAM FROM A 10 MEV INDUSTRIAL LINEAR ACCELERATOR. IMMEDIATELY AFTER THE ACCIDENT AND THROUGHOUT A SUBSEQUENT RECONSTRUCTION OF IT, DOSIMETRIC INFORMATION WAS ASSEMBLED WHICH PROVED OF GREAT VALUE TO THE ATTENDING PHYSICIAN IN UNDERSTANDING THE COURSE OF PHYSIOLOGICAL CHANGES OCCURRING IN VARIOUS PARTS OF THE VICTIMS BODY. THIS EPISODE HAS SUGGESTED A VARIETY OF APPROACHES TO FUTURE LABORATORY RESEARCH.
