I am sure that this will not be news to many, but the University of Minnesota has been following the doses and lives of x-ray techs in the U.S. for quite some time. The site refrenced below has a lot of information on radiographer dosimetry and subsequent life events. They are following well over 100,000 medical radiation workers from 1926 to the present. I think it is a very interesting ongoing study. The site provides current incidence rates of illness and dosage in this large population.



I am not related to this study in any way.
