Summary

This study examines whether low-dose radiation to the brain during childhood (for a non-cancerous skin growth) can cause thinking or memory problems later in life. Researchers will compare adults who received different amounts of radiation to the brain. The goal is to understand any long-term effects and identify who might be at risk.
