title: [Medical management of patients internally contaminated with radionuclides in radionuclide therapy facility and assembly-temporary type therapeutic facility in nuclear emergency].
abstract: The utilization of radionuclide therapy facility and temporary therapeutic facility has been proposed for securing the effectiveness of the higher medical management of patients internally contaminated in nuclear emergency. However it is not then practical to conduct all of the medical management. The purpose of the medical management of contaminated patients in the facilities is to continue the medical treatment of the patients who already undergo medication in order to decrease the amount of radionuclides inside of the bodies and reduce possible cancer risks and, from the view point of radiation protection, to prevent the proliferation of radionuclides from the patients and the expansion of secondary radiation exposure from them to the general public. It is here described a basic idea for medical management for contaminated patients in the radionuclide therapy facility and temporary therapeutic facility to complement the current medical management scheme in nuclear emergency.
