Table 25-7 summarizes details of some of the principalepidemiologic investigations on which current dose-response estimates arebased.Risk Estimation ModelsDose-ResponseCurvesWithin the context of the limitations described, scientists have developed doseresponsemodels to predict the risk of cancer in human populations from exposureto low levels of ionizing radiation. These models lead to dose-response curves whoseshape can be characterized as nonthreshold linear, linear-quadratic, and quadratic.Figure 25-15 shows two of these dose-response curves (linear and linear-quadratic).A nonthreshold linear curve is more likely to overestimate the incidence of cancerat lower doses from low-LET radiation and therefore is used in radiation protectionguidance for estimating the overall cancer risk from occupational and diagnosticexposures. The linear-quadratic dose-response model predicts a lower incidence ofcancer than the linear model at low doses and a higher incidence at intermediate
