Figure 1
A diagram showing a relationship between the lower dose detection limit, the applicability time period after exposure and the health outcome prediction power for several biomarkers/assays for potential use in biodosimetry and health management upon accidental exposure of humans to unknown doses of ionizing radiation. The results by Huang et al. (1) (red dashed selection) are strongly relevant to the ability to predict adverse health outcome.
