DNA damage in lens epithelial cells exposed to occupationally-relevant X-ray doses and role in cataract formation

DNA damage in lens epithelial cells exposed to occupationally-relevant X-ray doses and role in cataract formation

Abstract The current framework of radiological protection of occupational exposed medical workers reduced the eye-lens equivalent dose limit from 150 to 20 mSv per year requiring an accurate dosimetric evaluation and an increase understanding of radiation induced effects on Lens cells considering th...
