How did the media report a missing radioactive capsule in Australia's outback?
In 2023, a radioactive capsule went missing in Western Australia’s outback. It made international news. Research shows that public concerns about radiation’s health effects remain dormant until an issue or ‘focussing event’ brings them t...

Effect of changes in baseline cancer mortality rates and survival functions on the estimated risks of radiation-induced cancer
One of the uncertainty factors in estimating radiation-induced cancer risk is temporal changes in baseline cancer and all-cause mortality rates, which reflect advances in medical and diagnostic technologies, increased diagnostic frequenc...

Determination of local diagnostic reference levels for mammography in Fars Province, Iran
The most common cancer that strikes women is breast cancer. It is diagnosed using mammography, which is considered a gold standard diagnostic tool in detecting breast cancer. Despite the use of ionizing radiation, mammography should be p...

CT image-based evaluation of phantom-derived DLP-to-effective dose conversion factors for adult abdomen-pelvis CT
Effective dose is used in computed tomography (CT) as a population-level quantity for radiation protection, dose monitoring, and clinical studies. It is commonly estimated by multiplying scanner-reported dose-length product (DLP) by a co...

A novel angle-independent neutron detector based on CR-39
CR-39 offers numerous advantages for neutron detection, yet its strong angular dependence has long compromised the accuracy of measurements. To address this issue, this work proposes a novel cubic neutron detector consisting of six CR-39...

Beyond the 5G-COVID moment: the scope of EMF mis- and disinformation on German-language social media
Public perception of health risks from electromagnetic fields (EMF) and 5G mobile networks diverges persistently from the scientific evidence base, a gap increasingly shaped by social media. While existing research has examined the acute...

A criticism of three arguments on recurrent imaging and risk
Managing radiation protection (RP) in relation to recurrent imaging continues to be debated. Recent arguments have focussed on high cumulative effective dose (CED), especially where it exceeds 100 mSv. This article argues that CED should...

Optimizing inspection intensity under the graded approach: a Bayesian decision-theoretic model for radiation protection regulation
The graded approach is a central principle of radiation protection regulation: regulatory requirements and oversight activities should be commensurate with the radiation risks associated with practices involving radiation sources. Althou...

Shapley effects to identify the most influential input parameters of organ dose estimation following CT scans in childhood.
A current methodological challenge in radiation epidemiology is to account for dose uncertainty in risk estimation. An important preliminary step can be to identify the most influential input parameters involved in dose estimation, befor...
