Measurement of the Radiation Dose Cuticles Using Electron Paramagnetic Resonance (EPR)

Stopped early · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Irradiation; Adverse Effect

In brief

This study is to test the effectiveness a new method (called EPR dosimetry) that could be used to measure radiation doses to fingernails that occur as a result of unplanned exposure to radiation, such as might occur from the actions of terrorists, or from accidents.
