Estimation of bone marrow injury through biopsies from whole-body irradiated monkeys (Cebus apela).
In the x-irradiated mammal, the ratio erythrocytes/nucleated cells is positively correlated with the radiation dose. In the present report, this correlation is used to estimate, by means of marrow biopsies, the radiation dose received by whole-body exposed monkeys.
