Effects of Medical Diagnostic X-rays Delivered at 0.01 or 0.05 mGy on Human Blood Cells

Background: Low-dose X-rays are commonly used in medical imaging to help the diagnosis ofdiseases. However, deleterious effects of exposure diagnostic low-dose remaina highly debated topic. The objective was study on humanblood cells.
 Materials and Methods: We studied (80kVp), i.e.,0.01 or 0.05 mGy, after vitro human red blood cells (RBCs) peripheralblood mononucleated (PBMCs).Cells with no irradiation served as control group. biologicalendpoints that were determine hemolysisfor RBCs mitochondrial membrane potential, lysosomes, cell cycle for PBMCs.
 Results: Ourresults showed changes hemolysis lysosome, orcell exposed these low doses when compared corresponding nonirradiatedcells at all harvest timepoints.
 Conclusion: These results suggested there effectsof PBMCs vitro.
