ABSTRACT
This document explores the techniques of internal dosimetry, as well as radiation cytogenetics. Also it explains aspects about internal and external exposure accidents and some techniques to measure doses of radiation received such as decorporation therapym diuretics or simply increasing fluid intake may be used to increase the excretion rate of incorporated radioactive materials, adding another aspect to patient care. It mentions Prussian Blue used successfully in treating victims of the Goiania accident. In another part of the document explains investigations with biodosimetry radiation cytogenetics
