Article Synopsis
- DosiKit is a new device that helps measure how much radiation the skin absorbs during medical procedures.
- It was tested on 95 patients to see how well it works by checking hair samples for a specific protein that shows if they were overexposed to radiation.
- The results showed that DosiKit can help identify patients at risk of skin problems from radiation exposure.
DosiKit is a field radiation biodosimetry immunoassay for fast triage of individuals exposed to external total-body or partial-body irradiation (TBI or PBI). Assay proof-of-concept based on γ-H2AX analysis of human blood samples has been previously described as a promising tool for rapid assessment of TBI. Here, we report on the performance of the assay for PBI based on an analysis of hair follicles irradiated with a Cs gamma-ray source, at doses ranging from 0 to 20 Gy and dose rates ranging from ∼0.

Here, we report on the validation of this immunoassay in human blood cell extracts 0.5 h after in vitro exposure to Cs gamma rays, using γ-H2AX analysis.
