Effects of Different Therapeutic Radiation Doses on the Development of Neural Tube Defects in Chick Embryos and the Correlation with Bone Morphogenetic Protein 4 and 7 Expression Levels.

CONCLUSION: Exposure to irradiation at cranium CT doses may induce the development of NTDs and increase BMP7 expression. Dose radiation exposure using thorax CT and abdominopelvic CT protocols does not appear to induce NTDs. PMID: 31452178 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
