Abstract

The cytogenetic examination of radiologists with different work experiences in the field of ioni zing radiation has been performed. Preliminary data indicate that radiologists with over 1.5 years of experience exhibit, ~ in 70 % of cases, an increased level of chromosomal aberrations, including dicentrics and translocations (from 0.5 to 6.0 / 100 metaphases). This indicates a radiation load on the genome of the examined professionals. The radiomitigators inosine and thymalin reduce the frequency of radiation-induced aberrations of chromosomes upon the irradiation in small doses to the values of the average population spontaneous level.
