Description

Radiation protection is a pivotal challenge for radiation workers employed in medical fields, industry, and also space professionals with an increasing role in medical diagnostic and therapeutic applications. Radioprotective effects of amifostine and lycopene and their ability to moderate the level of radiation-induced chromosomal aberrations were investigated using the dicentric chromosome assay.
