Abstract: Simon, S. L., Weinstock, R. M., Doody, M. M., Neton, J., Wenzel, T., Stewart, P., Mohan, A. K., Yoder, C., Freedman, M., Hauptmann, M., Bouville, A., Cardarelli, J., Feng, H. A. and Linet, M. Estimating Historical Radiation Doses to a Cohort of U.S. Radiologic Technologists. Radiat. Res. 166, 174- 192 (2006). Data have been collected and physical and statistical models have been constructed to estimate unknown occupational radiation doses among 90,000 members of the U.S. Radiologic Technologists cohort who responded to a baseline questionnaire during the mid-1980s. Since the availability of radiation dose data differed by calendar period, different models were developed and applied for years worked before 1960.
