DOE regional coordinating offices should be notified for
radiologic assistance. At the request of a patient or the
attending physician, a DOE radiologic assistance team
physician can give advice about hospitalization and further
definitive treatment. The physician can also make available
special DOE medical facilities for the diagnosis and
treatment of radiation injury. DOE’s geographic areas of
responsibility are listed below. The resources of 13 federal
agencies are available through DOE.
