Abstract: Focusing on the international frontier of advanced radiation diagnosis and treatment research, and combining the practical experience of more than 30 years of basic research and clinical treatment of radiation injuries in China and especially in the General Hospital of Nuclear Industry, we established a precise assessment technology system for local radiation injuries caused by external Iridium-192 source irradiation from multiple dimensions. The treatment strategy and optimal treatment and efficacy evaluation plan for local radiation injuries were established and validated in the whole process of treatment of local radiation injuries. In this way, the precise assessment, standardized treatment, prognosis, rehabilitation management and long-term medical follow-up of nuclear and radiation injuries can be realized. The cure rate of local radiation injuries can be improved, and the disability rate can be reduced. Theoretical guidance and technical support can be provided for the treatment of local radiation injuries.

Key words: Iridium-192 source, local radiation injuries, precise assessment, standardized treatment, expert consensus
