Clinical Pre Computer Proforma for the International Computer Database for Radiation Exposure Case Histories

This publication provides guidance on preparing data to be input into an international computerised database for clinical case histories of persons accidentally exposed to whole body irradiation. The publication has resulted from a close collaboration between the Institute of Biophysics including it...
