Skeletal and tissue lesions resulting from exposure to radium and fission products.
The chief effects of absorbed radionuclides and external radiation are radiation osteitis, disturbed bone growth, myelofibrosis and bone tumors. The lesions are dependent in part on localization and character of the radiation and in part on dose. Data on radium have been derived from dial painters, radium chemists and those treated some years ago by oral or parenteral administration.
