Biological dosimetry – allows to assess an accidental dose of ionising radiation by analysis of changes induced in chromosomes of human peripheral blood lymphocytes The yield of chromosome aberrations in peripheral blood lymphocytes is the most sensitive indicator for past irradiation exposure, therefore it is used in biological dosimetry for retrospective dose estimation.

Purpose: The purpose of our investigation were to establish calibration curve for unstable aberrations induced by proton beam routinely use to cancer therapy at Laboratory of Nuclear Problems at JINR. What it is calibration curves? Calibration curves are performed for chromosomal aberrations yields scored in lymphocytes of several voluntaries exposed in vitro to the known radiation doses

CABAS is intended for fitting dose-response curves. Thesoftware is intended for fitting a linear-quadratic dose-response relationship by the maximum-likelihood method. It was designed for the purpose of biological dosimetry based on the analysis of chromosomal aberrations - dicentrics and rings, scored on Giemsa stained slides. Reference: Deperas J. et. al.

Our results: Y=A+αD+βD^2 Y- aberration yield; A – control frequency D – dose [Gy] α- linear coefficient β- dose squared coefficient Y=0,0030+0.0980*D+0,0798*D^2 Figure 1. Fitted dose response curves for sum of dicentrics and centric rings induced by protons in chromosomes of 4 donors. Error bars represent the 95% confidence intervals calculated for the mean values.
Conclusion: We established dose calibration curve for unstable chromosomal aberrations induced by therapeutic proton beam in the dose range from 0 to 3 Gy. The calibration curve may be useful to retrospective dose estimation in case of accidental exposure to protons.
