Özet

Invasive cardiology laboratory workers are occupationally exposed to chronic ionizing radiation. It is known that ionizing radiation has a damaging effect on chromosomes. In present study, we investigated the frequency of sister chromatid exchange (SCE) and chromosomal aberrations in 11 invasive cardiology laboratory workers and 11 healthy controls, After a vacation period. e took blood samples for chromosome analysis in months 0.4, 8 and 12 (last two month period was the nonradiation time).
