Occupational Radiation Exposure and Deaths From Malignant Intracranial Neoplasms of the Brain and CNS in US Radiologic Technologists, 1983-2012

摘要

OBJECTIVE. Childhood exposure to acute, high-dose radiation has consistently been associated with risk of benign and malignant intracranial tumors of the brain and CNS, but data on risks of adulthood exposure to protracted, low-to-moderate doses of radiation are limited. In a large cohort of radiologic technologists, we quantified the association between protracted, low-to-moderate doses of radiation and malignant intracranial tumor mortality.
