Software

Please download and install on your laptops the following software needed
for analysis of foci (for PC).

ImageJ: the software is ZIPPED to a single file. Click here to start download

Once you downloaded and unpacked the file you can start the program by clicking on ImageJ.exe

IrfanView: click here to go to the website and follow the instructions

macro gammaH2AX foci for Fiji The newer Fiji ImageJ version will also give you data output if you use this macro version (macro gammaH2AX foci for Fiji, where the text line coloc is replaced with cool). However, it does not display the foci in the stacked images, i.e. using the newer ImageJ versions you cannot do the quality control of the threshold level of foci detection.


Blue macro gammaH2AX foci To be used for blue nuclei and green foci (standard image acquisition in most labs), otherwise the same as macro gammaH2AX foci.txt.



Software CABAS for estimating the dose from aberration and MN frequencies

MN calibration curve for acute gamma radiation

Dicentric calibration curve for acute gamma radiation


Useful background information

HPA report on individual radiosensitivity - recommended!

Radiation biology text book 2023

Aberrations review Savage

gammaH2AX review Pilch

Mn test review Fenech

Gamma Ray Spectroscopy

Info about radioactive decay of the measured radionuclides
