Interventional radiography and mortality risks in U.S. radiologic technologists.

Minimally invasive fluoroscopy guide intervention As indicators of radiation procedures increase, interest in health effects of these procedures on irradiated workers and patients has increased. There is no systematic epidemiological investigation to quantify serious disease risks or mortality. We used 88,766 US radiation technicians (77% females) nationwide to quantify the total cause of radiation technologists in the United States, the cardiovascular disease, and the risk of death from cancer using the interventional radiology method We assessed the risk of death during the self-administered questionnaire survey. It lasted from 1994 to 1998 until 31 December 2003. You can access information on occupational experience, program type (including fluorescence guidance intervention procedure), protective measures, and medical, family cancer history, lifestyle and reproductive information. We calculated the relative risk (RR) of the 95% confidence interval (CI) using the Cox proportional hazards regression model. There were a total of 3,581 deaths from the completion of the questionnaire to the end of the follow up survey, of which 1,209 died of malignant tumors and 979 died of cardiovascular disease. The risk of death from all causes of death in patients who underwent such surgery on the 1st day was increased compared to radiologists who have never done or underwent guided fluoroscopic guided interventions did not do it. Likewise, all cardiovascular diseases, combinations of all cancers, or female breast cancer did not increase the risk of death of technicians who performed the daily or auxiliary fluoroscopic guided interventional procedure. Based on a small number of deaths (n = 151), there was an insignificant excess (40% - 70%) in cerebrovascular disease mortality among those using these procedures. As the number of deaths during the relatively short period of follow-up is small, among radiologists reporting that the frequency of interventional radiography procedures is the highest, I would like to explain the significant increase in the risk of death You need to pay attention. In this study we can not exclude the increased risk of cerebrovascular disease, certain cancers, low mortality rates or long wait times until death.

The American Radiation Engineers Association registered 143,517 US radiologists certified between 1926 and 1980 to assess the risk of death from low-level chronic exposure to ionizing radiation. This is one of the few vocational studies, mainly women exposed to radiation during employment (73%). By 1990, a cumulative follow-up survey of over 8 million people was conducted, confirming the death of 7,345 people. The influence of a strong health care worker was observed (the standardized mortality rate for all causes and total cancer was 0.69 and 0.79 respectively). With radiation exposure measurements available, lung cancer (429 deaths) did not increase and no significant association including acute, myeloid and monocytic leukemia (74 deaths) was observed. Of the 1,890 women who were certified before 1940, risks increased with the certification period (P trend <0.001) using the internal reference group. Cause and management of cancer 1998, 9, 67 - 75
