The Radiation Epidemiology Branch in DCEG

Understanding the link between radiation exposure and cancer

DCEG investigators in the Radiation Epidemiology Branch carry out research designed to identify, understand, and quantify the risk of cancer in populations exposed to ionizing radiation (e.g., x-rays, CT scans, radon, and cosmic rays) and non-ionizing radiation (e.g., radiofrequency and extremely low-frequency or power frequency) from various sources, including:
