While many books are available on disaster medicine, none is
specifically devoted to the role of physicians in the management of
patients exposed to radiation leakage from a damaged nuclear power
plant. "Radiation Disaster Medicine" aims to fill this void based
on the response to the Fukushima nuclear accident. Each chapter
addresses principles and practices of radiation medicine within the
specific context of that accident. Topics covered include the role
of physicians in radiation disasters, the concepts of external and
internal exposure, prehospital and hospital response, disaster
behavioral health, and radiation emergency response from the
perspective of national and international institutions. Most of the
contributors are active educators and researchers in radiation
medicine with first-hand experience in dealing with prehospital
triage and management of patients within secondary and tertiary
care hospitals in Japan.
