Dose Estimates
The appropriate medical response to a radiation incident is based on an accurate dose estimate as well as knowledge of a victim's medical circumstances. REAC/TS team of health physicists often provides dose assessments specific to an incident.
REAC/TS also strives to improve our nation's dosimetry capabilties in the event of a mass exposure incident, such as from a dirty bomb or improvised nuclear device. Our cytogenetics biodosimetry laboratory will serve as as national resource for dose assessments, allowing for improved medical management during a radiation emergency.
REAC/TS also disseminates compendia of dose estimates for many radiopharmaceuticals.
