Imbalance between the production and removal of reactive oxygen species (ROS) has been used for characterizing Oxidative stress. Extra amount of ROS are hazardous and can lead damages to the cells resulting in harsh diseases. For cancer, diabetes, psychological disorders and age-related disorders, latent of ROS in induction of alteration and DNA harm is a critical factor. Regarding these finding, the current research was planned to test the relationship between cognitive neuropsychological state and oxidative markers and genotoxicity in radiology staff. Total Number of 47 radiology staff, working in the radiology center of a referral University Hospital in Shiraz, were invited in the study. The participants were occupationally exposed to low-dose ionizing radiation (x-ray) for more than 2 years. Psychological disorder was analyzed by SCL-90-R. In the plasma, lipid peroxidation, DNA harm, catalase, superoxide dismutase, myeloperoxidase, and glutathione peroxidase activity were calculated. Associations between parameters were measured by using Pearson correlation coefficient and multivariate linear regression analyses. As a result, there was a positive considerable connection between catalase and paranoid ideation, Obsessive-Compulsive, Anxiety and total. Furthermore, the correlation between psychoticism, Interpersonal Sensitivity, Paranoid Ideation and DNA damage was positive. There were positive relationships between superoxide dismutase and psychomotor speed, initiative/energy, selective attention and verbal memory. So, there were significant relationships among interpersonal sensitivity, somatization, depression and gender. But, there were no major relationships among psychological distress, history workers and oxidative stress. In so many words, Oxidative stress and genotoxicity result in psychological disorders in radiology staff. So, radiology staff should have more attention,

“…In this sense, the damage effect of radiation may be delayed for months due to "delayed acute reactions". The most important factor for determining the extent of injury in a tissue is its ability to repopulate after radiation damage [15][16][17][18]. The dividing stem cells and nondividing functionally mature cells are involved in the process of tissue repopulation.…”

Bioimpedance analysis could provide a clear figure about changes in cells and tissues based on frequencydependent changes, due to their electrical resistances for the applied electrical current. This review explains the physical principle of bioimpedance. And to monitor the progression of radiation induced tissue injury, particularly in radiotherapies. The interaction of radiation with the biological tissues and a prediction for their earlier and later alterations due to exposure are discussed. As well as, an overview for tissue identification by bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) is proposed. Bioimpedance analysis "applications and its limitations" in the health care, clinical practice and prognosis of overall survival in cancer patients are discussed.

“…A previous study indicated that the exposed population exhibited significantly lower health-related quality of life (HRQoL) scores in the physical, psychological, and social relationship domains than did unexposed members of the general population in the same city (Yen et al 2011). Furthermore, the HRQoL scores were similar amongst those who were exposed to various amounts of cumulative radiation, and women and those who were informed of the exposure at or before the age of 12 years demonstrated relatively lower HRQoL scores (Yen et al 2013).…”

“…In addition, depression is a well-known independent predictor of inferior HRQoL amongst patients with chronic diseases (Chung et al 2009, Cruz et al 2010. Therefore, we attempted to elucidate the prevalence and determinants of depression amongst the members of the RCB cohort, which demonstrated low HRQoL scores in the study of Yen et al (2011).…”
