The Use of Chromosomal Aberrations in Human Lymphocytes for Biological Dosimetry

1 Nov 1997

Abstract excerpt

The scoring of chromosomal aberrations in human lymphocytes provides the most sensitive method known for biological dosimetry. By scoring dicentrics in the full genome of 500 cells, average whole-body doses of about 0.1 Gy of X or gamma rays may be detected and higher doses estimated. Acute doses above about 0.2 Gy can be estimated more accurately than similar chronic doses. For radiations of higher LET, for...
