Effects of radiation exposure from cardiac imaging: How good are the data?
2012, Journal of the American College of CardiologyCitation Excerpt :Until the 1960s, radiation therapy was a relatively common treatment for numerous benign diseases, and considerable radioepidemiological data exists from these patients. Table 3 summarizes studies evaluating thyroid cancer risk after childhood radiotherapy for a variety of conditions (27–38). Although thyroid dose received by patients in these studies spanned 2 orders of magnitude, with mean doses as low as 100 mGy, excess risk per Gy received is generally compatible among these many studies, and with only a single exception, always statistically significantly >0.
Role of apparent diffusion coefficient values and diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging in differentiation between benign and malignant thyroid nodules
2012, Clinical ImagingCitation Excerpt :Cancer history in the family and neck radiation history increase the risk of malignancy in the thyroid nodules. Radiation exposure is present in the history in 20–30% of patients with a palpable thyroid disease [4]. Ultrasonography, an inexpensive and noninvasive method, is the most widely used modality in defining the lesions.

2005, Otolaryngologic Clinics of North AmericaCitation Excerpt :Up to 5% of patients with a history of low-dose radiation exposure develop a thyroid malignancy [7]. When patients present with a solitary thyroid nodule and a history of radiation exposure, 40% of those nodules will harbor a carcinoma [8]. A basic history of coexistent benign thyroid disease such as hyperthyroidism or hypothyroidism should be obtained.
