This study introduces a multiparametric dosimetry system for radiation dose assessment, adaptable for spaceflight. It integrates hematology, molecular biodosimetry, and software for comprehensive radiation exposure management.

Area of Science:

  • Medical physics
  • Space medicine
  • Radiation biology

Background:

  • Current radiation dosimetry methods include personnel dosimeters and cytogenetic analysis.
  • There is a need for adaptable dosimetry systems for diverse environments like spaceflight.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and describe a multiparametric dosimetry system for medical radiological defense applications.
  • To explore the system's adaptability for spaceflight environments.
  • To complement existing radiation dose documentation methods.

Main Methods:

  • Utilizing a portable hematology analyzer (QBC Autoread Plus) to measure lymphocyte and monocyte kinetics.
  • Employing molecular biodosimetry with nucleic acid and antigen-based biosensors to detect biomarkers of ionizing radiation exposure.
