Excess lifetime cancer mortality risk attributable to radiation exposure from computed tomography examinations in children.
BACKGROUND The use of computed tomography in Israel has been growing rapidly during recent decades. The major drawback of this important technology is the exposure to ionizing radiation, especially among children who have increased organ radiosensitivity and a long lifetime to potentially develop radiation-related cancer. OBJECTIVE To estimate the number of excess lifetime cancer deaths relat...
متن کاملAssessment of Radiation Exposure Levels and Associated Health Risks in Calabar Free Trade Zone, Nigeria
Introduction Exposure to chronic levels of ionizing radiation could be detrimental to health even at very low doses. Calabar free trade zone (CFTZ) was established to promote export business in Nigeria and it is yet to produce exposure data of the Zone. Materials and Methods The Zone was divided into three categories depending on the type of business. Category A had facilities with manufacturin...
متن کاملRadiation doses and risks from internal emitters.
This review updates material prepared for the UK Government Committee Examining Radiation Risks from Internal Emitters (CERRIE) and also refers to the new recommendations of the International Commission on Radiological Protection (ICRP) and other recent developments. Two conclusions from CERRIE were that ICRP should clarify and elaborate its advice on the use of its dose quantities, equivalent ...
متن کاملSurvival adjusted cancer risks attributable to radiation exposure from cardiac catheterisations in children
OBJECTIVES To estimate the risk of developing cancer in relation to the typical radiation doses received from a range of X-ray guided cardiac catheterisations in children, taking variable survival into account. METHODS Radiation doses were estimated for 2749 procedures undertaken at five UK hospitals using Monte Carlo simulations. The lifetime attributable risk (LAR) of cancer incidence was e...
متن کاملLifetime exposure to radiation from imaging investigations.
OBJECTIVE To assess levels of radiation exposure from diagnostic imaging among family practice patients, the degree to which these levels exceed recommended levels, and whether radiation exposure level is associated with a diagnosis of cancer. DESIGN Chart abstraction. SETTING Six practices in an academic family medicine centre and 1 family practice in the community. PARTICIPANTS Two hund...
