Dose Estimation Curves Following In Vitro X-ray Irradiation Using Blood From Four Healthy Korean Individuals

Abstract: Cytogenetic dosimetry is useful for evaluating the absorbed dose of ionizing radiation based on analysis of radiation-induced chromosomal aberrations. We created two types of dose-response calibration curves for dicentric chromosomes (DC) and translocations (TR) induced by X-ray irradiation, using an electron linear accelerator, which is the most frequently used medical device in radiotherapy. We irradiated samples from four healthy Korean individuals and compared the resultant curves between individuals. Aber… Show more

“…According to the U.S. Department of Energy, doses below 100 mGy are defined as low-dose radiation [10]. Accordingly, among the 11 X-ray single-dose points used by Jang et al [1], only 0.05 Gy and 0.1 Gy belong to low-dose radiation. Given that clinical investigators are seeking to improve diagnostic imaging with low or zero radiation, the potential future application of the cytogenetic analysis proposed by Jang et al [1] should be explored for such cumulative low-dose radiation detection.…”

“…We appreciate the opportunity to respond to the Letter to the Editor by Professor Wang [1] regarding our article reporting dose estimation curves following in vitro X-ray irradiation using blood from four healthy Korean individuals [2]. Professor Wang raises an important scientific issue in the original research paper, namely, clinical application of cytogenetic dosimetry for low-dose exposure to ionizing radiation (IR) <100 mGy.…”
