Vasc Endovascular Surg. 2011 Feb;45(2):178-80. doi: 10.1177/1538574410390713. Epub 2011 Jan 28.

Abstract

Acute radiation syndrome or radiation sickness is a serious illness that occurs after the body receives a high dose of radiation, typically over a short period of time. This condition may be underrecognized by interventionalists and must be considered whenever performing complex endovascular procedures.
