For dose reconstruction purposes, translocations frequency seems to be a more adequate end-point than the scoring of dicentrics. The established in vitro calibration curve for dicentrics may underestimate absorbed radiation dose in cases of protracted exposure.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
