Abstract: Long-term exposure to low dose ionizing radiation contributes to the damage of radiosensitive tissue and organ in radiation workers.The main cytogenetic index used to evaluate radiation damage induced by chronic low dose ionizing radiation is the chromosome aberrations of peripheral blood lymphocytes.In this paper,the cytogenetic evaluation indicators of radiation workers exposed to low dose ionizing radiation were reviewed basing on the research achievements of domestic and foreign scholars.The goals of this review were to supply the present situation and limitation of chromosomal aberration analysis in peripheral blood lymphocytes of radiation workers and to provide a reference for the chromosomal aberration test and assessment of radiation workers in China.
