Abstract | |||
We are currently collecting questionnaire data on radioisotope procedures performed by U.S. radiologic technologists to improve estimates of individual occupational ionizing radiation doses. Work history data will be used together with badge dose readings and literature information on radation exposures from specific types of procedures. Doses will be estimated to different organs accounting for uncertainty in assumptions and available data. |
