Estimated Risks of Radiation-Induced Fatal Cancer from Pediatric CT
TL;DR: It is suggested that pediatric CT will result in significantly increased lifetime radiation risk over adult CT, both because of the increased dose per milliampere-second, and the increased lifetime risk per unit dose.

TL;DR: Examination of data on radiation transformation of mammalian cells in vitro and on the risk of an increased cancer incidence after irradiation of mice, dogs, monkeys, atomic bomb survivors, occupationally exposed persons, and patients treated with radiation concluded that reduced risks of secondary cancer should be achieved by any technique that achieved a dose reduction down to −0.1 Gy.

Late cancer and noncancer risks among Chernobyl emergency workers of Russia
TL;DR: The presented work summarizes data on estimated radiation risks among Chernobyl emergency workers of the Russian Federation between 1986 and 2003 and finds no adjustments were made for recognized risk factors for cerebrovascular diseases.

Solid cancer incidence among the Chernobyl emergency workers residing in Russia: estimation of radiation risks
TL;DR: An analysis is presented of solid cancer incidence during 11 years of follow-up (1991–2001) of Chernobyl emergency workers residing in Russia, based on data from the cohort of male emergency workers from 6 regions in Russia.

A contribution to the linear no-threshold discussion
TL;DR: It is concluded that, from the point of view of radiation mechanism, at very low doses the LNT hypothesis of radiation action is valid, that is, the risk function has a positive slope from zero dose.
