Estimating historical radiation doses to a cohort of U.S. radiologic technologists.
Data have been collected and physical and statistical models have been constructed to estimate unknown occupational radiation doses among 90,000 members of the U.S. Radiologic Technologists cohort who responded to a baseline questionnaire during the mid-1980s. Since the availability of radiation dose data differed by calendar period, different models were developed and applied for years worked ...
متن کاملRadiation dose awareness of radiologic technologists in major Jordanian hospitals
Background: Radiology staff needs to justify the radiation exposures in order to protect themselves and others from radiation risks. The aims of this study were to examine the awareness level of radiation dose and protection amongst radiographers and to compare their performance between major Jordanian hospitals. Materials and Methods: A cross-sectional survey was conducted in 4 major Jord...
متن کاملRadiation Protection for Radiologic Technologists
The book begins with an excellent section on the methodology for starting and maintaining cell and organ cultures from human biopsy specimens. Techniques for growing monolayer cultures, cell suspension cultures, free-floating slice cultures, and organ cultures of several types are presented clearly and in detail. Subsequent sections ofthe book describe the application ofshort term cultures oftu...
متن کاملReconstruction of Radiation Dose Received by Diagnostic Radiologic Technologists in Korea
OBJECTIVES Diagnostic medical radiation workers in Korea have been officially monitored for their occupational radiation doses since 1996. The purpose of this study was to design models for reconstructing unknown individual radiation doses to which diagnostic radiation technologists were exposed before 1996. METHODS Radiation dose reconstruction models were developed by using cross-sectional ...
متن کاملPrescription diuretic use and risk of basal cell carcinoma in the nationwide U.S. radiologic technologists cohort.
BACKGROUND UV radiation (UVR) exposure is the primary risk factor for basal cell carcinoma (BCC). Although prescription diuretics have photosensitizing properties, the relationship between diuretic use and BCC remains unclear. METHODS Using data from the United States Radiologic Technologists Study, a large, nationwide prospective cohort, we assessed the relationship between diuretic use and ...
