Richardson,Fernando Rodríguez-Artalejo,Agnès Rogel,H. Tardy,M. Telle-Lamberton,I. Turai,M. Usel,K. Veress +52 more
TL;DR: This is the largest analytical epidemiological study of the effects of low-dose protracted exposures to ionizing radiation to date, and shows a strong healthy worker survivor effect in these cohorts.
Journal ArticleDOI

Richardson,Fernando Rodríguez-Artalejo,Agnès Rogel,H. Tardy,M. Telle-Lamberton,I. Turai,M. Usel,K. Veress +51 more
TL;DR: Estimates of risk of cancer after protracted low doses of ionising radiation after nuclear workers in the largest study of nuclear workers ever conducted are higher than, but statistically compatible with, the risk estimates used for current radiation protection standards.
Journal ArticleDOI
Mortality from diseases other than cancer following low doses of ionizing radiation: results from the 15-Country Study of nuclear industry workers
Martine Vrijheid,Elisabeth Cardis,P. Ashmore,Anssi Auvinen,J. M. Bae,H. Engels,Ethel S. Gilbert,G. Gulis,Rima R. Habib,Geoffrey R. Howe,Juozas Kurtinaitis,H. Malker,Colin R. Muirhead,David B. Richardson,Fernando Rodríguez-Artalejo,Agnès Rogel,Mary K. Schubauer-Berigan,H. Tardy,M. Telle-Lamberton,M. Usel,K. Veress +20 more
TL;DR: The most informative low-dose radiation study to date provides little evidence for a relationship between mortality from non-malignant diseases and radiation dose, but cannot rule out risks per unit dose of the same order of magnitude as found in studies at higher doses.
Journal ArticleDOI

Turai,M. Usel,K. Veress +29 more
TL;DR: This study provides the largest body of direct evidence to date on the effects of low-dose protracted exposures to external photon radiation.
Journal ArticleDOI
EPI-CT: design, challenges and epidemiological methods of an international study on cancer risk after paediatric and young adult CT

Meulepas,Lara Struelens,Sarah Baatout,Magnus Kaijser,Carlo Maccia,Andreas Jahnen,Isabelle Thierry-Chef,Maria Blettner,Christoffer Johansen,Kristina Kjærheim,Arvid Nordenskjöld,Hilde Merete Olerud,J Salotti,Tina Veje Andersen,Martine Vrijheid,Elisabeth Cardis +24 more
TL;DR: By focusing on the issues which challenge the validity of risk estimates from CT exposures, EPI-CT will be able to address limitations of previous CT studies, thus providing reliable estimates of risk of solid tumours and leukaemia from children's CT exposures and scientific bases for the optimisation of paediatric CT protocols and patient protection.
