Radiation-induced DNA damage and the relative biological effectiveness of 18F-FDG in wild-type mice
Abstract
Clinically, the most commonly used positron emission tomography (PET) radiotracer is the glucose analog 2-[(18)F] fluoro-2-deoxy-D-glucose ((18)F-FDG), however little research has been conducted on the biological effects of (18)F-FDG injections. The induction and repair of DNA damage and the relative biological effectiveness (RBE) of radiation from (18)F-FDG relative to 662 keV γ-rays were investigated. The study also assessed whether low-dose …
