Background: Ferredoxin reductase (FDXR) has already been reported as a
promising biomarker for estimating radiation doses in radiotherapy. This study
aimed to investigate the responsiveness of FDXR on pediatric population exposed
to ionizing radiation (X-rays) during pediatric interventional cardiology (IC)
procedures. Patients and Methods: Peripheral blood was collected by
venipuncture from 24 pediatric donors before and 24 hours after the IC procedure.
To estimate the effective dose, demographic data and Air Kerma-Area Product
