Computed Tomography — An Increasing Source of Radiation Exposure

The number of computed tomographic (CT) studies performed is increasing rapidly. Because CT scans involve much higher doses of radiation than plain films, we are seeing a marked...

Estimated Risks of Radiation-Induced Fatal Cancer from Pediatric CT

The best available risk estimates suggest that pediatric CT will result in significantly increased lifetime radiation risk over adult CT, both because of the increased dose per ...

Cancer risks attributable to low doses of ionizing radiation: Assessing what we really know

High doses of ionizing radiation clearly produce deleterious consequences in humans, including, but not exclusively, cancer induction. At very low radiation doses the situation ...

Estimates of the cancer risks from pediatric CT radiation are not merely theoretical: Comment on “Point/Counterpoint: In x‐ray computed tomography, technique factors should be selected appropriate to patient size. Against the Proposition” [Med. Phys. <b>28</b>, 1543–1545 (2001)]
