EPR bone dosimetry: a new approach to spectral deconvolution problems.
EPR dosimetry was used to assess the dose to bone samples from radiation accident victims. Complications in the measurement process arose from overlapping resonances of multiple paramagnetic centers. A computer fitting routine was developed to enhance measurement of the EPR signal of interest, thereby improving the precision of the dose assessment.
