Cancer of the thyroid has been detected as a late consequence of irradiation mainly for benign diseases. A survey of data from several investigators shows a strong correlation between incidence and thyroid dose. The result of a risk estimation for irradiated children assuming a linear non-threshold dose response is 60 cancers per 10(6) per rem in 20 years following irradiation. There is no evidence that adults will be much less sensitive. Radiation risks for the thyroid should be considered in nuclear medicine, because the diagnostic use of radioiodine leads to organ doses which are comparably high.
甲状腺癌已被发现是主要因良性疾病接受辐射后的晚期后果。对几位研究者的数据调查显示，发病率与甲状腺所受剂量之间存在密切关联。假设剂量反应呈线性无阈值，对受辐照儿童进行风险估计的结果是，辐照后20年内每10⁶人每拉德有60例癌症发生。没有证据表明成年人的敏感性会低很多。在核医学中应考虑甲状腺的辐射风险，因为放射性碘的诊断性应用会导致相当高的器官剂量。
