Abstract excerpt

A radiation accident involving a cesium-137 therapy source occurred in Goiania (Brazil) in September 1987, in which more than 50 individuals were exposed to moderate to high doses (0.2-7 Gy) of gamma-radiation. A cytogenetic technique (i.e., frequencies of dicentrics and rings in peripheral lymph...
