Abstract
This study aimed to assess the impact of irradiation on red blood cells (RBCs), white blood cells (WBCs), and platelets (PLTs) using modest doses of X-ray radiation (40 kV and 80 kV). The blood samples were exposed to X-ray irradiation at 40 and 80 kV. A haematology analyzer system with automated capability was used to quantify cellular components, specifically WBCs, RBCs, and PLTs, both before and after exposure to radiation. The study found that irradiation reduced WBC and PLT numbers. When exposed to 40 kV and 80 kV voltages, the WBC and PLT improved statistically significantly (p = 0.001). Nonetheless, the statistical analysis revealed no statistically significant difference (p > 0.05) in red blood cell count between 40 and 80 kV doses. It can be concluded that the haematopoietic system exhibits a high degree of sensitivity to radiation exposure.
期刊介绍：
Primarily being a medical journal, JPMA publishes scholarly research focusing on the various fields in the areas of health and medical education. It publishes original research describing recent advances in health particularly clinical studies, clinical trials, assessments of pathogens of diagnostic importance, medical genetics and epidemiological studies. Review articles highlighting importance of various issues in the domain of public health, drug research and medical education are also accepted. As a leading journal of South Asia, JPMA remains cognizant of the recent advances in the rapidly growing fields of biomedical sciences, it invites and encourages scholars to write short reviews and invited editorials on the emerging issues. We particularly aim to promote health standards of developing countries by encouraging manuscript submissions on issues affecting the public health and health delivery services.
