MRIs and the Perception of Risk
American Journal of Law & Medicine, 2007The most important safety decision concerning MRIs was to change the name of the procedure. In the late 1970s, the procedure known as nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) became magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) because of the negative connotations the word “nuclear” invited. Since then, the use of MRIs has flourished.

Risk Perception and Movies: A Study of Availability as a Factor in Risk Perception
Risk Analysis, 2009Media effects on risk perception have often been explained by Tversky and Kahneman's availability principle, but research has not consistently supported it.

But has the concept of risk become so ingrained within our profession that

Health Physics, 1988
The risks of occupational exposure to radiation need fuller and more explicit characterization. They also need a more developed quantitative comparison with more familiar occupational hazards. To achieve this, some criterion is needed for establishing the amount of detriment one should attribute to different harmful effects, e.g., from accidents at ...

Cyclists’ perception of risk in roundabouts
Accident Analysis & Prevention, 2008Converting an intersection into a roundabout improves motor vehicle safety, but a similar safety effect is not found for car-bicycle collisions. Very little is known about the reasons behind these collisions. In this study a first step towards an understanding of the reasons behind these collisions is taken.

Risk perception is sometimes measured by means of judgments about worry, sometimes as perceived risk more directly. However, perceived level of risk calls for a more intellectual judgment and worry tends to refer to emotional reactions. These two are therefore not the same and need not be strongly correlated.
