DNA damage-associated biomarkers in studying individual sensitivity to low-dose radiation from cardiovascular imaging

The use of diagnostic imaging and image-guided interventions using low-dose ionizing radiation has increased dramatically in recent years. This is explained by dramatic advances in imaging technology which provide invaluable diagnostic information for clinical decision-making.1 Although the benefits of appropriate use of advanced imaging technology outweigh the risks, the medical use of X-ray-based imaging techniques has become a leading source...
