Quantification of DNA damage in patients undergoing non-contrast & contrast enhanced whole body PET/CT investigations using comet assay and micronucleus assay.

CONCLUSION: The patients undergoing contrast-enhanced WB PET/CT investigations have demonstrated higher DNA damage. The DNA damage was also observed to be more in heavier patients. The other baseline parameters of patients like age, sex, CBG, serum creatinine did not show any correlation with DNA damage. PMID: 30707050 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
