Derived CDG for bioassay – a tool for screening people in a radiological emergency

The decision on initiating clinical treatment for a person who has been internally contaminated by radionuclides is not trivial. NCRP Publication 161 presented an operational quantity named Clinical Decision Guide - CDG to help in this decision. The bases for establishing the CDG values are dose values related to the risks of stochastic and deterministic effects to body tissues. This work shows a computational system - Derived CDG - which...
