Article Synopsis
- Concerns about radiation exposure have intensified after events like Fukushima, raising the need for efficient medical triage following a potential disaster.
- *The medical community must distinguish between individuals needing treatment for radiation exposure and those who do not, and electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) has shown promise in identifying significant exposure in various tissues like teeth and nails.
- *With advancements in EPR technology, including partnerships with GE and the aim for FDA approval, there is potential for effective on-site and remote testing methods to support medical responses in large-scale radiation incidents.*
