Millions of people around the world are exposed to low doses of ionizing radiation from diagnostic computed tomography (CT) scans. Currently available data on the potential cancer risk after CT scans are contradictory and therefore demand further investigations. The aim of the current study was to obtain estimations of genome damage after CT scans in 42 non-cancer patients and to conduct a comparison of the results with 22 control subjects.

- The Global Health Security Initiative (GHSI) created a lab network to improve response capabilities in case of a radiological emergency, focusing on radionuclide bioassays.
- 18 laboratories participated in a test with a urine sample containing high-risk radionuclides to assess their ability to analyze and report results within 72 hours.
- While all labs detected some radionuclides, many faced challenges in testing multiple radionuclides simultaneously and reporting consistent results, highlighting the need for improved collaboration and capacity building among the labs for emergency situations.
