Enhanced γ-H2AX Foci Frequency and Altered Gene Expression in Participants Exposed to Ionizing Radiation During I-131 Nuclear Medicine Procedures.

Purpose: Ionizing radiation-based technologies are extensively used in the diagnosis and treatment of diseases. While utilizing the technologies, exposure to a certain amount of radiation is unavoidable. Data can be obtained from participants who received radiation during medical imaging and therapeutic purposes to predict the effects of low-dose radiation.
