Low-Dose Ionizing Radiation and Thyroid Diseases and Functional Modifications in Exposed Workers: A Systematic Review.

ABSTRACT: Background/Objectives: With technological development, ionizing radiation has found applications in numerous occupations. However, the determination and quantification of the damage resulting from exposure to it remains rather unclear, along with the damage to particular organs. The aim of this systematic review was to investigate the relationship between low-dose ionizing radiation (LDIR) in exposed workers and possible functional changes and cancer development in the thyroid gland. Methods: We included observational studies evidencing the correlation under study. Data extraction and analysis was conducted on all included studies. The research strategy included three electronic databases (PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science). The systematic review followed PRISMA guidelines,
