Carotid Atherosclerosis Detected by Ultrasonography: A National Cross-Sectional Study.

abstract：:Background Past reports suggested that total-body irradiation at 0.5 to 1.0 Gy could be responsible for atherosclerosis. Peripheral artery disease ( PAD ) is a manifestation of systematic atherosclerosis. Whether the consequences of a low-to-moderate dose of radiation include increased risk of PAD remains to be determ...
