The potential health risk of CT scans has been discussed in various studies to determine whether low-dose radiation from CT could enhance the chromosome aberration yields in pediatric patients and increase their risk of carcinogenesis. For this reason, it is of great interest to study the effects of low-dose radiation. The induction of DNA damage by a CT scan examination has been demonstrated in several reports by the \u03b3-H2AX assay, the micronuclei assay and dicentrics measurements. However, the results of most studies showed limitations. On the other hand, epidemiological studies give contradictory results for post-natal radiation exposure in the low-dose range, so it is still difficult to draw conclusions about the effects of CT examinations and risk of carcinogenesis. This article provides an overview of previously published data and summarizes the current state of knowledge.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1093\/rpd\/ncz195","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2019,9,4]],"date-time":"2019-09-04T19:26:59Z","timestamp":1567625219000},"page":"163-167","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":9,"title":["RISK EVALUATION IN THE LOW-DOSE RANGE CT FOR RADIATION-EXPOSED CHILDREN, BASED ON DNA DAMAGE"],"prefix":"10.1093","volume":"186","author":[{"given":"Lenka","family":"J\u00e1no\u0161\u00edkov\u00e1","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Physiotherapy, Balneology and Medical Rehabilitation, University of Ss.
