IQR – interquartile range, IV – intravenous, IM – intramuscular, TBI – total body irradiation.

*

Radiation received as TBI is included in the organ-specific dose calculations.

If the right and left kidneys (lungs) received different amounts of radiation, the survivor was classified based on the kidney (lung) with the lesser degree of radiation exposure.
