Exposure to curium radiation

Exposure to curium radiation refers to internal contamination or external radiological exposure involving radioactive isotopes of the transuranic actinide element curium Clinical concern primarily arises when curium is internalized via inhalation, ingestion, or wound contamination, leading to systemic absorption and selective deposition within the skeletal system and liver

Exposure to curium radiation refers to internal contamination or external radiological exposure involving radioactive isotopes of the transuranic actinide element curium Pathophysiologically, internalized curium radionuclides emit high-energy alpha particles and associated ionizing radiation, producing localized cellular damage, double-stranded DNA breaks, bone marrow suppression, and a heightened long-term risk of radiation-induced malignancies, particularly osteosarcoma and leukemia
