For brain blood-vessel disease, the excess hazard ratio—a measure of added relative death risk—was 0.07 per 100 milligray of estimated thyroid dose.For brain blood-vessel disease, the excess hazard ratio—a measure of added relative death risk—was 0.07 per 100 milligray of estimated thyroid dose.
Who was studied110,368 US radiologic technologists, median 35.1 years
What changedDeath risk from brain blood-vessel disease was higher with higher estimated thyroid radiation dose (excess hazard ratio 0.07 per 100 milligray)
The catchThyroid dose was a proxy for carotid artery exposure, not a direct measurement
