| | Measurement of chromosome translocation frequencies in peripheral blood lymphocytes has been used to quantify prior exposure to ionizing radiation. We assessed translocations frequencies in 152 radiologic technologists with a wide-range of estimated occupational doses. Despite uncertainty in the estimates of occupational red bone marrow absorbed doses, we found good general agreement between the doses and translocation frequencies, lending support to the credibility of the dose assessment for this cohort.
