Validation of a biomarker tool capable of measuring the absorbed dose soon after exposure to ionizing radiation

Abstract A radiological or nuclear attack could involve such a large number of subjects as to overwhelm the emergency facilities in charge. Resources should therefore be focused on those subjects needing immediate medical attention and care. In such a scenario, for the triage management by first res...
