Description

This paper describes a manual that was prepared within the scope of an ARCAL program and its instrumental role for the preparation of health personnel in Latin America and the Caribbean, as well as in other regions, in recognising and treating medical conditions caused by accidental exposure to ionising radiation. Besides a detailed description of radiation injuries, the importance of the manual relies also on the fact that it has a clinical approach and is written in spanish, so filling a gap on the medical literature for the aforementioned region.
