The medical management of radiation accident victims is based on a rapid assessment and reconstruction of the radiation dose and quality combined with prompt, targeted treatment efforts performed at specialized medical units. To facilitate such medical emergency preparedness in Sweden, the National Board of Health and Welfare has recently established a new Centre for Radiation Medicine, located at the Karolinska institute in Stockholm. Among the tasks of this centre are also to contribute with health care information, education, advice and carry out research activities in areas related to medical effects of ionizing radiation. A close collaboration is being established with the Swedish Radiation Protection Authority and also with various other national and international bodies. The initiation of the Centre for Radiation Medicine comes in parallel with a rapid development of the understanding of and treatment options for patients acquiring an acute radiation syndrome, mainly due to improved diagnostic procedures combined with novel therapeutic options, such as stem cell transplantation and cytokine administration.
辐射事故受害者的医疗管理基于对辐射剂量和性质的快速评估与重建，并结合在专业医疗单位进行的及时、有针对性的治疗措施。为促进瑞典的此类医疗应急准备工作，国家卫生和福利委员会最近在斯德哥尔摩的卡罗琳斯卡学院设立了一个新的放射医学中心。该中心的任务还包括提供医疗保健信息、开展教育、提供建议，并在与电离辐射医学效应相关的领域开展研究活动。目前正在与瑞典辐射防护局以及其他各种国家和国际机构建立密切合作。放射医学中心的设立与对急性放射综合征患者的认识和治疗选择的快速发展同步，这主要得益于诊断程序的改进以及新型治疗选择，如干细胞移植和细胞因子给药。
