Radiation Fallout—Guam

Radiation doses and risks from internal emitters.

This review updates material prepared for the UK Government Committee Examining Radiation Risks from Internal Emitters (CERRIE) and also refers to the new recommendations of the International Commission on Radiological Protection (ICRP) and other recent developments. Two conclusions from CERRIE were that ICRP should clarify and elaborate its advice on the use of its dose quantities, equivalent ...

Radiation Doses from Computed tomography in Iraq

Radiation doses to Patient during CT scanner and the radiological risk are significant. Patient dose survey has been conducted toinvestigate the Iraq patient radiation dosesreceived in CT scanners in order to established reference dose levels. These doses are Entrance Surface Dose (ESD),computed tomography dose index(CTDI)), and dose length product (DLP). Two CT scanner were investigated in thi...

Radiation injury and effects of early fallout.

This is the second of four articles on the medical aspects of nuclear explosions. Last week described the blast and heat effects and explained that with modern large bombs significant radiation injury was likely to be due to fallout rather than to the radiation emitted by the explosion itself because most people subjected to the extremely short-lived initial radiation would be killed or fatally...
