Abstract: [Preliminary studies governing the choice of the primary magnetic field exposure methods and summary metric used to estimated children's exposure in the National Cancer Institute/Children's Cancer Group. Exposure metrics evaluated included measures of central tendency, peak exposures, and short-term temporal variability (rate of change). Most of the metrics were found to be positively and highly correlated with Time Weighted Average for the 24-hour period (TWA-24 hr), with peak exposure and with rate of change.].
