Cancer incidence in the US radiologic technologists health study, 1983-1998.
BACKGROUND Workers exposed to low doses of radiation can provide information regarding cancer risks that are of public concern. However, characterizing risk at low doses requires large populations and ideally should include a large proportion of women, both of which rarely are available. METHODS Among 90305 radiologic technologists in the U.S. (77% women) who were followed during 1983-1998, d...
متن کاملNonradiation risk factors for thyroid cancer in the US Radiologic Technologists Study.
The incidence of thyroid cancer has been rapidly increasing in the United States, but few risk factors have been established. The authors prospectively examined the associations of self-reported medical history, anthropometric factors, and behavioral factors with thyroid cancer risk among 90,713 US radiologic technologists (69,506 women and 21,207 men) followed from 1983 through 2006. Incident ...
متن کاملBreast cancer risk polymorphisms and interaction with ionizing radiation among U.S. radiologic technologists.
Genome-wide association studies are discovering relationships between single-nucleotide polymorphisms and breast cancer, but the functions of these single-nucleotide polymorphisms are unknown and environmental exposures are likely to be important. We assessed whether breast cancer risk single-nucleotide polymorphisms interacted with ionizing radiation, a known breast carcinogen, among 859 cases...
متن کاملIncidence of haematopoietic malignancies in US radiologic technologists.
BACKGROUND There are limited data on risks of haematopoietic malignancies associated with protracted low-to-moderate dose radiation. AIMS To contribute the first incidence risk estimates for haematopoietic malignancies in relation to work history, procedures, practices, and protective measures in a large population of mostly female medical radiation workers. METHODS The investigators follow...
متن کاملChest radiography for radiologic technologists.
The chest exam is performed more frequently than any other exam in the imaging department. It is important for radiographers to understand the standards for imaging the chest because good chest radiographs are critical in managing patient care. This article provides an overview of chest radiography from the perspective of both the radiologist and the technologist. Readers will gain an understan...
