Commentary No. 030 - Using Personal Monitoring Data to Derive Organ Doses for Medical Radiation Workers, with a Focus on Lung (2020)  Price: $55 PDF (AAPM Members FREE) Category: Commentary The purpose of this Commentary is to describe an optimum approach for using personal monitoring data to estimate lung and other organ doses. The Commentary highlights specific precautions applicable to epidemiologic study of medical radiation workers.
