sources and effects of ionizing radiation
TL;DR: This annex is aimed at providing a sound basis for conclusions regarding the number of significant radiation accidents that have occurred, the corresponding levels of radiation exposures and numbers of deaths and injuries, and the general trends for various practices, in the context of the Committee's overall evaluations of the levels and effects of exposure to ionizing radiation.

TL;DR: The difficulties involved in quantifying the risks of low-dose radiation are reviewed, a linear extrapolation of cancer risks from intermediate to very low doses currently appears to be the most appropriate methodology, and a linearity assumption is not necessarily the most conservative approach.

TL;DR: There was emerging evidence from the present data that exposure as a child may increase risks of cancer of the body of the uterus, and further evidence that radiation-associated increases in cancer rates persist throughout life regardless of age at exposure.

Estimating Risk of Cancer Associated With Radiation Exposure From 64-Slice Computed Tomography Coronary Angiography
TL;DR: Estimates derived from simulation models suggest that use of 64-slice CTCA is associated with a nonnegligible LAR of cancer, which varies markedly and is considerably greater for women, younger patients, and for combined cardiac and aortic scans.
