由于恐怖主义或事故造成的辐射照射风险很高，因此对事后剂量测定的需求增加。在这种事件的情况下，需要一种方法来快速测量大量个体的剂量，并具有足够的准确性，以促进有效的医疗分流。基于指甲EPR测量的剂量学可能是用于此目的的有效工具。本文介绍了EPR指甲剂量测量的第一个操作协议，包括样品的收集和储存指南，EPR测量参数和剂量评估方法。在本方案的盲法试验中，对新鲜取样并辐照至4和20戈伊的指甲进行应用;本方案给出的剂量估计值误差小于30%。(c)2007爱思唯尔有限公司保留所有权利。
There is an increased need for after-the-fact dosimetry because of the high risk of radiation exposures due to terrorism or accidents. In case of such an event, a method is needed to make measurements of dose in a large number of individuals rapidly and with sufficient accuracy to facilitate effective medical triage. Dosimetry based on EPR measurements of fingernails potentially could be an effective tool for this purpose. This paper presents the first operational protocols for EPR fingernail dosimetry, including guidelines for collection and storage of samples, parameters for EPR measurements, and the method of dose assessment. In a blinded test of this protocol application was carried out on nails freshly sampled and irradiated to 4 and 20 Gy; this protocol gave dose estimates with an error of less than 30%.
