Published online by Cambridge University Press: 28 June 2012
Abstract
Aspects of internal contamination with radionuclides are reviewed. The possible association of this kind of accident with radiation and conventional accidents is addressed. The most important mishaps in the initial diagnosis, the need for prompt treatment, and a well-prepared plan to cope with radioisotopes at the workplace are discussed. The metabolic behavior and specific treatment for radionuclide contamination is reported.
