The biological effects of exposure to radioactive fluorodeoxyglucose ( 18 F-FDG) were investigated in the lymphocytes of patients undergoing positron emission tomography (PET) procedures. Low-dose, radiation-induced cellular responses were measured using 3 different end points: (1) apoptosis; (2) ch...
