Abstract | |||
Fluoroscopically-guided radiation procedures can result in high radiation exposure to both the physician and patient. A cohort of physicians who perform interventional radiation procedures (mainly cardiologists and interventional radiologists), radiologists and a comparison group has been assembled to estimate the risk of dying from cancer especially brain cancer and leukemia. Analyses are in progress. Cancer mortality risks during 1979-2008 are being evaluated in a cohort of 46,000 physicians performing FG procedures and among 43,000 radiologists compared with 65,000 psychiatrists. |
