title: An international survey of tissue banking: a preliminary report.
abstract: International Atomic Energy Agency is currently carrying out a survey on the tissue banking activities from the tissue banking organisations worldwide. The purpose of the survey is to establish regional and global overview of the current tissue banking activities and practices in order to assist the International Atomic Energy Agency to provide further guidance about the use of radiation technology to sterilise tissues as well as to promote better collaboration between the regional tissue banking associations. The survey is an on-going exercise and the preliminary data is presented here. This exercise is not completed and the authors urge the remaining tissue banks to participate in the survey.
