Breast cancer mortality among female radiologic technologists in the United States (2002)
 Breast cancer mortality risk was highest among women who began working as a radiologic technologist before 1940 and among those who first performed fluoroscopy and multi-film procedures before 1950. Risk increased significantly with increasing number of years worked as a radiologic technologist before 1950.
