What is it about?
Biological assessment of radiation exposures at population scale demands automated analysis of cytogenetic data. As such, algorithms and corresponding software were developed to analyze thousands of potentially irradiated samples for a highly parallelized, multiprocessor super-computer platform. Simulated testing of exposed populations after high-yield nuclear incidents demonstrated timely and actionable radiation dose estimates in this high-performance computing environment.

Why is it important?
It is feasible to assess radiation exposure in large numbers of people to determine which will require treatment
Perspectives
The work described in this paper would be valuable if we had to measure absorbed radiation in everyone who was exposed to it after a large scale incident
