Abstract:Background: Low-dose X-rays are commonly used in medical imaging to help in the diagnosis ofdiseases. However, the deleterious effects of exposure to medical diagnostic low-dose X-rays remaina highly debated topic. The objective was to study the effects of medical diagnostic X-rays on humanblood cells.
Materials and Methods: We studied the effects of medical diagnostic low-dose X-rays (80kVp), i.e.,0.01 or 0.05 mGy, after the in vitro exposure of human red blood cells (RBCs) and peripheralblood mononucle… Show more
