Abstract:
Three workers at a San Salvador 60Co irradiation facility were victims of a radiation accident, resulting in the amputation of a leg from two workers. The absorbed dose to bone was successfully assessed by electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) quantitation of radiation-induced hydroxyapatite centers.
