Casualties from radiation accidents are rare events compared to other types of dangerous exposures to perilous material. However with today's widespread use of radiation technology in medicine, research, industry, power production and national defense, there's a growing potential for radiation injuries. Of further importance is the possibility of large number of casualties from a terrorist attack employing nuclear weapons. The emergency physician who is responsible from triage and initial management of radiation injuries must therefore have the ability to recognise its signs and symptoms, and develop active plans to manage radiation accidents, by employing protective equipment and monitoring devices for safety of patients, health care providers and the environment.
