(a) Estimated cumulative cancer incidence from natural background radiation (3.1 mSv∕yr from ages 0 to 80). The comparable cancer incidence attributed to digital mammography (3.91 mGy) and MBI∕BSGI (925 MBq Tc-99m sestamibi) performed annually from ages 40 to 80 are also shown. (b) Estimated cumulative cancer mortality from natural background radiation (3.1 mSv∕yr from ages 0 to 80). The comparable cancer mortality attributed to digital mammography (3.91 mGy) and MBI∕BSGI (925 MBq Tc-99m sestamibi) performed annually from ages 40 to 80 are also shown. (c) Estimated cumulative cancer mortality from all sources (National Program of Cancer Registries) and from natural background radiation (3.1 mSv∕yr from ages 0 to 80). Estimated cancer mortality attributed to digital mammography (3.91 mGy) and MBI∕BSGI (925 MBq Tc-99m sestamibi) performed annually from ages 40 to 80 are also shown.
