18F-FDG PET/CT scanning: Biological effects on patients: Entrance surface dose, DNA damage, and chromosome aberrations in lymphocytes

•Effective dose ranges between 4.01–6.6 and 16.40–72.1 mSv for PET & CT respectively.•The order of measured ESD to various regions is pelvis > shoulder > head.•DNA damage was measured using γ-H2AX, p53Ser−15, CA and MN markers.•The γ-H2AX, p53Ser−15 and MN did not show increase (p > 0.0...
