Abstract(s)
The biological effects of high doses of ionizing radiation are reasonably well studied and
documented. Nevertheless, there is a clear lack of evidence concerning biological effects of
Low Doses, namely at medical imaging levels, as those characterizing Nuclear Medicine and
Radiology typical environments. Recognizing limitations and translational difficulties of the
actual monolayer cellular models, our group has produced efforts to develop advanced
biological models, namely using three-dimensional cell cultures and a less explored animal
model (Zebrafish - which allow access to inter-generational data, while characterized by a
great genetic homology).
This work aims to exhibit preliminary results already obtained
