Highlighs
- The geographical distribution of thyroid cancer incidence within 6-7 years after the 2011 Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant accident was examined.
- The municipality-level standardized incidence ratio of thyroid cancer after the first (Preliminary Baseline Survey) ultrasound examination was analyzed in Fukushima Prefecture.
- Flexibly shaped spatial scan statistics and Tango’s maximized excess events test (MEET) showed no spatial clustering tendency of the incidence ratios.
- There was no statistical support for a positive association of the incidence ratios with regional average estimates of absorbed radiation doses.
