Chris,
We have definitely had this discussion before. I believe he said this last year. I thought the consensus of the group was that Thyroid collars spread the radiation more.

Wouldn't you know it...Dr. Oz is at it again!
I just received this email from a neighbor, intended
for my wife, and sent to all the women they know.
"Local viral", I call it.
Dr. Oz is apparently saying on a recent show that dental x-rays,
just lumped right in with mammograms, "could be possibly related"
(translation: IS related) to the increase in thyroid cancer in
women, which he said is the fastest growing cancer in women.
I've copied the note she sent, which was copied from another woman
near our neighborhood. Does anyone have any ammunition in the
way of research that can address this statement?
And, of course there's the indiscriminate way Oz combined dental
x-rays (teeny tiny) with mammograms (massive) in the way of
radiation exposure. Must have been a slow news day! We're already
making it clear that we've always used thyroid collars.
All my best,
Chris
Subject: thyroid cancer newsThyroid cancer On Wednesday, Dr. Oz had a show on the fastest growing cancer in women, thyroid cancer. It was a very interesting program and he mentioned that the increase could possibly be related to the use of dental x-rays and mammograms. He demonstrated that on the apron the dentist puts on you for your dental x-rays there is a little flap that can be lifted up and wrapped around your neck. Many dentists don't bother to use it. Also, there is something called a "thyroid guard" for use during mammograms. By coincidence, I had my yearly mammogram yesterday. I felt a little silly, but I asked about the guard and sure enough, the technician had one in a drawer. I asked why it wasn't routinely used. Answer: "I don't know. You have to ask for it."Well, if I hadn't seen the show, how would I have known to ask? We need to pass this on to our daughters, nieces, mothers and all our female friends and husbands tell your wives !! I just did, now you send it on to your list. Someone was nice enough to forward this to me. I hope you pass this on to your friends and family.
