Canadian Cytogenetic Emergency Network (CEN) for biological dosimetry following radiological/nuclear accidents
Abstract
PURPOSE: To test the ability of the cytogenetic emergency network (CEN) of laboratories, currently under development across Canada, to provide rapid biological dosimetry using the dicentric assay for triage assessment, that could be implemented in the event of a large-scale radiation/nuclear emergency.
