What is it about?
The paper describes how we increased the accuracy of measurements of radiation dose. We analyze images of chromosomes to find those which provide evidence of exposure.

Why is it important?
Calibration of radiation exposure needs to be accurate for effective cancer treatment. Treatment of radiation overexposures depends on precise measurement of absorbed dose and the type of radiation received. Quantification of radiation exposure by biodosimetry testing needs to be timely for patients to benefit.
Perspectives
We are working with biodosimetry laboratories around the world to make the software in this paper available to them.
