Biological dosimetry for radiation dose assessment

Existing physical dosimeters are reliable in terms of accuracy and reproducibility in the estimating radiation doses. However, they do lack certain critical criteria, i.e., the biological response. A search for biological dosimeters for radiation dose assessment is paramount. Countless biological systems have been tested for such purposes and some of them looks promising while others have been adopted foe estimating absorbed doses. This article discusses some biological dosimeters and the qualifications they have to be considered as biodosimeters
