Evaluation of DNA damage induced by ionizing radiation from myocardial perfusion imaging: a pilot study

Abstract Background As patient exposure to ionizing radiation raises concern about malignancy risks, this study evaluated the effect of ionizing radiation on patients undergoing myocardial perfusion imaging (MPI) using the comet assay, a method for detection of DNA damage. Methods Patients without c...
