Practical applications of cytogenetic biodosimetry in radiological emergencies
The Fukushima nuclear disaster caused by the earthquake and tsunami on March 11, 2011 is believed to be the worst nuclear accident since the Chernobyl disaster in 1986. The Korean government is providing support to Japan and is also trying to protect the people from the hazards of ionizing radiation. To this end, Korean rescuers have been dispatched to the disaster-struck areas to assist in the...
متن کاملRadiation Dose Estimation by Automated Cytogenetic Biodosimetry.
The dose from ionizing radiation exposure can be interpolated from a calibration curve fit to the frequency of dicentric chromosomes (DCs) at multiple doses. As DC counts are manually determined, there is an acute need for accurate, fully automated biodosimetry calibration curve generation and analysis of exposed samples. Software, the Automated Dicentric Chromosome Identifier (ADCI), is presen...
متن کاملAccurate cytogenetic biodosimetry through automated dicentric
Accurate digital image analysis of abnormal microscopic structures relies on high quality images and on minimizing the rates of false positive (FP) and negative objects in images. Cytogenetic biodosimetry detects dicentric chromosomes (DCs) that arise from exposure to ionizing radiation, and determines radiation dose received based on DC frequency. Improvements in automated DC recognition incre...
متن کاملNotes on Radiological Emergencies
NOTES ON RADIOLOGICAL EMERGENCIES. By George Ansell. (Cardboard folder. lOs). Edinburgh and London: E. & S. Livingstone, 1966. MODERN techniques have made it possible to save the lives of many patients whose vital functions cease because of some temporary crisis. Cardiac massage, defibrillation, pacemaking, mouth to mouth ventilation and the understanding of the gross biochemical disturbances w...
متن کاملRadiological appearances of gynaecological emergencies
BACKGROUND The role of various gynaecological imaging modalities is vital in aiding clinicians to diagnose acute gynaecological disease, and can help to direct medical and surgical treatment where appropriate. It is important to interpret the imaging findings in the context of the clinical signs and patient's pregnancy status. METHODS Ultrasound and Doppler are readily available in the emerge...
