NCT ID NCT01960751
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study looks at adults who received low-dose radiation to the brain as children for a non-cancerous skin growth. Researchers want to see if this radiation caused any long-term thinking or memory problems. About 150 participants will take memory and thinking tests to compare those who got higher versus lower doses.
