Abstract
Monitoring health-related radiation damage is important for the future, and a system to detect chromosomal aberrations associated with radiation is extremely useful for monitoring populations exposed to radiation. In general, the most useful indicator of radiation damage at the cellular level is the occurrence of ring, dicentric, fragment, and fragment ring chromosomes.
