In my story a character has been unknowingly exposed to fairly high levels of radiation for a prolonged period. He does not know he has been exposed and has no suspicion that he has been or that any radioactive material is present.
However he begins to weaken and feels sick.
He goes to the doctor. Would an x-ray machine or any sort of general use machine/technology be able to detect residual traces of this radiation on his body? Or some way that the doctor could determine that he had been exposed to radiation?
This is for a screenplay so if the more visual the detection method used the better.
Any help or suggestions would be appreciated. Perhaps another site or forum that would be more suitable could be suggested if this forum is unable to help me.
Thank you. I look forward to reading your replies.
