Abstract: The authors compare values of radiation risks of potential cancer from diagnostic radiation exposure assessed with the use of organ and effective doses. Estimates of lifetime attributable risk from CT scanning made with ICRP 103 risk models and national data of medical statistics are given as an example. It is shown that values of lifetime attributable risk based on organ and effective doses can differ 3.11 times. Values of lifetime attributable cancer risk for specific organs are presented as well.

Keywords: Ionizing radiation, Radiation epidemiology, Radiological protection, Radiation risks, reconstruction of radiation doses, verification of medical data, Chernobyl accident, medical radiation exposure
Abstract: The authors present the history of the Radiation Epidemiological Sector of the Medical Radiological Research Center and review the main results obtained by researchers of the National Radiation Epidemiological Registry for twenty five years. For that time major efforts were made towards development of methodology and analytical methods for estimating radiation risks and prognosing morbidity and mortality of people affected by low level radiation. At present basic and applied research into Radiation Epidemiology and estimating risks for health of people exposed to radiation from nuclear accidents and incidents, occupational activity and medical procedures is carried out at the Sector.
