Radiation Epidemiology Branch (REB) investigators plan and conduct studies of populations exposed to occupational radiation. Selected studies include:
Studies of leukemia risk among clean-up workers at the Chernobyl nuclear power plant in Ukraine
Study of cancer mortality in radiologists and physicians performing fluoroscopically-guided procedures
A study of the effects of exposure to external radiation at relatively high doses and exposure to plutonium in a cohort of 26,000 Mayak Nuclear Facility workers
Data used in reconstruction and estimation of exposures of medical radiation workers in the U.S. Radiologic Technologists Study
A case-control study of the association of occupational exposure to electromagnetic fields and adult brain tumors
A study of cancer and other serious disease risks associated with protracted low-to-moderate dose radiation exposures in a cohort of U.S. radiologic technologists
