beskrivelse:
It was common for the hands of the early radiologists to receive exceptionally high radiation doses. The loss of fingers, as shown in the photograph, was sometimes the result. Such conditions are ultimately caused by
outright killing of many cells. In that case, dermal basal cells and blood vessels were critically injured in
the fingers, scar tissue probably plugged the blood vessels and stopped the flow of blood. The loss of blood supply ultimately led to the death of tissue in the fingers and the loss of those extremities.
