> TFA says that it has a failure rate of 1:33,000. That's a "do not ship" rating for almost anything else. I find statements like this interesting, from a risk analysis point of view. In the UK there are breast cancer screening programmes and the risk of a radiation-induced cancer for a woman attending full field digital mammographic screening is between one in 50,000 to 100,000. That puts the rate of inducing cancer vs finding cancer at 1 in 400 to 1 in 800 (because the majority of scan results find no cancer). Should we "not ship" breast cancer screening? |
