N2  - The consequences of an accidental overexposure from an 192Ir radiography source are being followed up to assess the long-term effects to the victim. The estimated dose equivalents resulting from the accident were approximately 24 Sv to the fingertips and 2-3 Sv to the body. Progressive tissue deterioration has set in and has led to multiple surgeries and successive amputations of the fingertips.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>
