Biological dosimetry in Australia

Description
The accuracy of biological dosimetry by enumerating dicentric chromosome aberrations in peripheral blood lymphocytes has been improved over the period 1969-1986 by increasing the number of cells examined from 300 to 500. The use of the bromodeoxyuridine technique to score cells only in the first division has not contributed to improved accuracy as in our laboratory metaphases in second division do not exceed 10% at 48 hours. Routine practice is to score cells immediately while awaiting the ageing and staining of the bromodeoxyuridine slides. Blood samples from 74 subjects involved in 45 real or suspected radiation accidents were examined
