Despite 100 years of research there is uncertainty about effects of low dose radiation from background and medical X-rays. We will measure the incidence of cancer in Australians exposed to CT scans (medical X-rays) as children between 1985 and 2005. Our results, from follow-up to 2009, will show whether there is a small but signicantly increased risk of cancer and guide further improvement in radiation safety standards if these prove to be necessary.

尽管经过 100 年的研究，背景辐射和医用 X 射线低剂量辐射的影响仍存在不确定性。我们将测量 1985 年至 2005 年间在儿童时期接受 CT 扫描（医用 X 射线）的澳大利亚人的癌症发病率。从随访到 2009 年，我们的结果将显示是否存在小幅但显着增加的癌症风险，并在证明有必要时指导辐射安全标准的进一步改进。
