Low-Dose Exposure to Ionizing Radiation Deregulates the Brain-Specific miR-134 in Interventional Cardiologists

Physicians are sometimes at risk related to services they provide for patients.  This study describes the effects of low dose radiation in the cath lab on the brains of interventional cardiologists.   This is something for CT surgeons to be aware of as they become more involved in catheter-based techniques.
