[The use of dicentric distribution in human peripheral blood lymphocytes for the retrospective estimation of the irradiation dosage].

The paper presents the results of retrospective dose estimations in a number of Chernobyl victims by different approaches to the analysis of dicentric distribution in peripheral lymphocytes in blood samples taken a long time after the accident. Retrospective dose estimations are compared with dose estimates in the same individuals made immediately after the accident by dicentric frequencies.
