During almost 40 years of use, the micronucleus assay (MN) has become one of the most
popular methods to assess genotoxicity of different chemical and physical factors, including …

Recent epidemiology studies highlighted the detrimental health effects of exposure to low
dose and low dose rate ionizing radiation (IR): nuclear industry workers studies have shown …

Purpose: Two quality controlled inter-laboratory exercises were organized within the EU
project 'Realizing the European Network of Biodosimetry (RENEB)'to further optimize the …

Purpose: In the framework of the 'Realizing the European Network of Biodosimetry'(RENEB)
project, two intercomparison exercises were conducted to assess the suitability of an …

Abstract Purpose: Within the EU RENEB project, seven laboratories have taken part in
training and harmonisation activities to strengthen triage gamma-H2AX-based radiation …

Purpose: A European network was initiated in 2012 by 23 partners from 16 European
countries with the aim to significantly increase individualized dose reconstruction in case of …

This work presents an overview of the applications of retrospective dosimetry techniques in
case of incorporation of radionuclides. The fact that internal exposures are characterized by …

Biological and physical retrospective dosimetry are recognised as key techniques to provide
individual estimates of dose following unplanned exposures to ionising radiation. Whilst …

With the use of ionizing radiation comes the risk of accidents and malevolent misuse. When
unplanned exposures occur, there are several methods which can be used to retrospectively …
