Over the years CDS staff have created a number of bespoke software tools which we are happy to share with the biodosimetry community to aid research and provision of biodosimetry services.
The Dose Estimate software was created to aid cytogeneticists to apply the statistical methods, recommended in the cytogenetic biodosimetry manual (IAEA, 2011), to fit calibration curves and calculate doses with cytogenetic data.
The software enables doses estimated by networks of laboratories using different retrospective (biological and physical) assays to be combined to give a single estimate of triage category for an individual potentially exposed to ionising radiation following a radiation accident or incident
In addition, CDS staff have expertise in general radiation protection, including whole body irradiation syndromes, cancer pathology and non-cancer effects. Contact us to find out how we can fulfil your specific training needs.
