Are there any peer reviewed readings out there relative to a persons cancer risk vs the amount of radiology exams recieved? For example, a patient has a 30 head CT's over a 2 year period. Those head CT's = 2 mSv per CT. Is there something out there where I can correlate a patients increased risk of cancer (or get a general idea), based on the increased radiation from the CT's.

Thanks, Brandon
