Gene expression changes and DNA damage after ex vivo exposure of peripheral blood cells to various CT photon spectra

Gene expression changes and DNA damage after ex vivo exposure of peripheral blood cells to various CT photon spectra

Abstract Dual-energy CT provides enhanced diagnostic power with similar or even reduced radiation dose as compared to single-energy CT. Its principle is based on the distinct physical properties of low and high energetic photons, which, however, may also affect the biological effectiveness and hence...
