Article Synopsis
- Medical diagnostic X-ray workers are exposed to continuous low doses of radiation throughout their careers, with no established threshold for health effects like cancer or genetic issues, according to ICRP guidelines.
- A survey was conducted to build an occupational history database for these workers, especially focusing on those exposed before 1985 when monitoring was nonexistent, utilizing a retrospective dosimetry method to estimate exposure doses from 1950 to 2011.
- The findings show that the average annual radiation dose for X-ray personnel peaked in the mid-1950s, declined significantly by the 1990s, and has remained low since then, consistent with earlier research on health effects of radiation exposure.
Medical diagnostic X-ray workers are one occupational group that expose to the long-term low-dose external radiation over their working lifetime, and they may under risk of different cancers. This study aims to determine the relationship between the occupational X-ray radiation exposure and cancer risk among these workers in Jiangsu, China. We conducted Nested case-control study to investigate the occupational X-ray radiation exposure and cancer risk.

Entrance skin air kerma (ESAK) was measured and the mean glandular dose (MGD) was calculated according to the Dance's formula. Correlation analysis showed that several factors could affect the MGD level.
