Course Description
This course addresses practical aspects of evaluating the extent, location, and quantity of radioactive material in and around a wound. The course includes an overview of the equipment available for wound counting, and the appropriate use and care of this equipment. Sources of uncertainty in measurements, their impact on dosimetry and medical decision making, and techniques for accounting for these sources of error are also discussed. In-depth approaches to characterizing and minimizing sources of error in wound counts are discussed. Cases involving contaminated injuries involving fission-activation products and transuranic radionuclides are reviewed to emphasize the unique aspects of the care and treatment of contaminated wounds.
