摘要：Consideration of statistical methodology is essential for the application of cytogenetic
and other biodosimetry techniques to triage for mass casualty situations. This is because the requirement
for speed and accuracy in biodosimetric triage necessarily introduces greater uncertainties
than would be acceptable in day-to-day biodosimetry. Additionally, in a large scale accident type
situation, it is expected that a large number of laboratories from around the world will assist and it
is likely that each laboratory will use one or more different dosimetry techniques. Thus issues arise
regarding combination of results and the associated errors. In this article we discuss the statistical
and computational aspects of radiation biodosimetry for triage in a large scale accident-type situation.
The current status of statistical analysis techniques is reviewed and suggestions are made for
improvements to these methods which will allow first responders to estimate doses quickly and reliably
for suspected exposed persons.
