Abstract excerpt
Mutation induction in the HPRT gene of human fibroblasts after irradiation with mammography-like 29 kVp or 200 kVp x-rays shows radiohypersensitivity for doses smaller than approximately 0.5 Gy. Similarly, mutation induction in the CD 59 gene on human chromosome 11 in A(L) cells shows radiohypersensitivity for doses smaller than approximately 0.5 Gy after exposure to 200 kVp x-rays, but not after irradiation with...
