Summary
"This study is designed to evaluate the thyroid health of healthcare workers exposed to low-dose ionizing radiation at INMOL Cancer Hospital, Lahore. Specifically, it investigates whether prolonged occupational exposure in radiology and nuclear medicine departments is associated with altered thyroid hormone levels or an increased risk of hypothyroidism. The thyroid gland is highly sensitive to radiation, and existing literature suggests a possible link between occupational exposure and thyroid dysfunction.
