Biodosimetry lab is being established for assisting medical management of Radiation exposure. Such exposure can occur during radiation accidents and among medical professionals.

 

Since a single lab can only handle limited samples and in emergency the sample size will be very large. Therefore more Biodosimetry labs are needed to be established and work in network for Biodosimetry service.

 

Once established this lab can serve as radiation diagnostic lab for radiation over exposure among medical professional and participate in building national and international capacity of Biodosimetry service for handling medical radiation energy. This diagnostic information will also help in prediction of short term and long term health consequences of radiation exposure.
