Description/Abstract:
THE IMPORTANCE OF DOSIMETRY TO THE MEDICAL MANAGEMENT OF PERSONS ACCIDENTALLY EXPOSED TO HIGH LEVELS OF RADIATION. RADIATION ACCIDENTS CONTINUE TO OCCUR SPORADICALLY AND IT APPEARS THAT THERE IS NO HOPE ELIMINATING THEM ENTIRELY. THE MANAGEMENT OF PATIENTS EXPOSED TO LARGE DOSES OF RADIATION IS CONSTANTLY IMPROVING BECAUSE OF INCREASING ABILITY TO PREVENT AND TREAT INFECTION AND TO CONTROL HAEMORRHAGE. THE POSSIBLE EFFECTIVENESS OF TEMPORARY BONE MARROW GRAFTS OFFERS PROMISE OF A FURTHER REDUCTION IN MORTALITY. THE USE OF THIS GROWING BIOLOGICAL INFORMATION IS CLOSELY RELATED TO, AND TO A LRGE EXTENT DEPENDENT UPON, IMPROVEMENTS IN PHYSICAL DOSIMETRY FOR RADIATION ACCIDENTS.
