Blood and Bone Marrow Products in the Treatment of Radiation Injury

Treatment of Radiation Injuries

Abstract

The recent nuclear accidents at Chernobyl, U.S.S.R., and Goiânia, Brazil, have heightened concerns about the immediate availability of personnel, facilities, equipment, blood, and blood products for treating individuals exposed to radiation. The proper diagnosis and treatment of individuals exposed to radiation depend on methods used to detect the type and magnitude of radiation exposure, to decontaminate both the individuals and the environment (for example, animals, food, and water), and to monitor individual radiation exposure to identify individuals who will require blood and bone marrow products.
