RADIATION IN TISSUE BANKING
Basic Science and Clinical Applications of Irradiated Tissue Allografts
edited by Aziz Nather (National University of Singapore, Singapore), Norimah Yusof (Malaysian Nuclear Agency, Malaysia) & Nazly Hilmy (BATAN Research Tissue Bank, Indonesia)
This important book discusses the need for gamma irradiation in the processing of tissue allografts. With particular emphasis on tissue banking in the Asia-Pacific region, it covers a wide range of issues in tissue banking, including the basic science of radiation, quality control of the irradiation process, and clinical applications of irradiated bone grafts and amnions.
A compulsory textbook for the well-regarded Singapore-based IAEA/NUS Diploma Course in Tissue Banking, it is also a useful guide for tissue bankers in establishing quality systems in their banks. Whether they be tissue banking students, tissue graft producers, radiation scientists, or transplantation surgeons, readers of this book will discover the latest developments in this exciting interdisciplinary field.
