Radiation risks in perspective
The British Journal of Radiology, 1987The main difficulty in presenting radiation risks in their proper perspective is that they must, in most cases, be estimated predictively. This contrasts with most other occupational and public risks, of which the magnitude and severity are known from past records and experience.

Radiation: the risks and the benefits
American Journal of Roentgenology, 1983A general overview of the risks and benefits of the use of radiation in medicine and the nuclear industry is presented. The diagnositic and therapeutic uses of radioactive substances are explained, and a brief history of radiation medicine is given. (KRM)

Science of The Total Environment, 1992
Estimation of the risk of cancer following exposure to ionizing radiation remains largely empirical, and the models used to adduce risk incorporate few, if any, of the advances in molecular biology of the past decade or so. These facts compromise the estimation of risk where the epidemiological data are weakest, namely, at low doses and dose rates ...

Clinical Obstetrics and Gynecology, 1973
Data on the hazards of radiation for the human fetus are reviewed for the benefit of physicians who must take a calcu1ated risk by exposing pregnant women to radiation during diagnostic or therapeutic procedures. The radiosensitivity of the various developmental stages, the comparative hazards of external and internal exposure, and relationship of ...

Environmental Management, 1988
The risks of radioactivity are a really complicated matter, yet they are much better known than are the risks relating to thousands of chemical poisons that occur in our environment. The greatest mistakes are probably made in the definition of safety margins.

Risk of Radiation and Choice of Imaging
Digestive Diseases, 2009Radiological imaging plays an important role in the diagnosis and management of patients with inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD). The barium or contrast techniques enteroclysis (SBE) and small bowel follow through (SBFT) are still the mainstays in small bowel imaging. However, abdominal CT and MRI, including enteroclysis, have comparable sensitivity and

Radiation risks in perspective: radiation-induced cancer among cancer risks
Radiation and Environmental Biophysics, 2000The majority of the public in industrial countries believes that pollution and low doses of radiation are threats to good health. As a matter of fact, when these putative risks are compared to those originating from lifestyle, they appear very small. In particular, the risks associated with low doses of irradiation, even when they are assessed with the
