Our study investigates cancer risk following exposure to low doses of ionising radiation from medical procedures. Our first major paper linked over 800,000 CT exposures to cancer outcomes in a cohort of almost 11 million young Australians, and found that CT exposure predicted an increased incidence of leukaemia and most solid cancers. In our ongoing work we will incorporate nuclear medicine and other diagnostic x-rays, and estimate radiation dose for individual procedures and to specific organs.

我们的研究调查了医疗过程中暴露于低剂量电离辐射后的癌症风险。我们的第一篇重要论文将近1100万澳大利亚年轻人的队列中超过80万次CT暴露与癌症结局联系起来，并发现CT暴露预测白血病和大多数固体癌症的发病率增加。在我们正在进行的工作中，我们将结合核医学和其他诊断X射线，并估计个别程序和特定器官的辐射剂量。
