Abstract

During medical rescue for nuclear and radiation accidents, triage of potential victims could contribute to better use of medical resources currently and higher efficiency of the rescue.Biological dose estimation techniques ( estimated biodosimetry) are effective for assessing the degree of external radiation injury.The application of estimated biodosimetry to triage is important for effective nuclear accident medical rescue.In this paper, the characteristics of the estimated biodosimetry and its application to triage during medical rescue for nuclear accident and radiation were discussed.
