Abstract excerpt
In order to investigate possible mutagenic effects of in vivo exposure to low levels of ionizing radiation used in nuclear medicine, we have examined the hypoxanthine guanine phosphoribosyl transferase (hprt) mutant fraction (MF) and chromosome aberration (CA) frequency in 24 nuclear medicine pat...
