<p><strong>Diagnostic Tests and Procedures for Acute Radiation Syndrome</strong></p>
<p>New York (USA), June 27, 2013</p>
<p>Diagnosis of acute radiation syndrome depends on existing symptoms and amount of radiation exposure. If you are aware of radiation exposure, it is possible to judge amount of exposure. However, if you are unaware of any radiation exposure, diagnosis is very difficult.</p>
<p>Initial symptoms and signs of acute radiation syndrome are similar to many ailments. Further, if radiation exposure is very low, symptoms are few or even nil. Diagnosis in such cases is through a complete analysis of radiation exposure history.</p>
<p><strong>Acute Radiation Syndrome: Diagnostic Tests and Procedures</strong></p>
<p>If definite information about source and amount of radiation exposure is available, medical personnel adopt specific tests and determine course of treatment.</p>
<p>Information essential to detect radiation exposure include:</p>
<p><strong>Known Exposure:</strong> Distance between source of radiation and duration of exposure can indicate radiation severity.</p>
<p><strong>Vomiting and Other Symptoms:</strong> Time between onset of vomiting and radiation exposure offers deep insight into amount of radiation exposure. Shorter the time gap, greater the intensity of radiation.</p>
<p><strong>Dosimeter:</strong> This device measures absorbed dose of radiation. However, measurement is possible only if exposed to similar radiation conditions as already taken place.</p>
<p><strong>Survey Meter:</strong> This device detects actual location and presence of radioactive minerals within your body.</p>
<p><strong>Blood Tests:</strong> Regular blood tests spread over consecutive days can locate abnormal changes in DNA of blood cells and white blood cells.</p>
