Major reductions in radiation doses from PET/CT scans can be achieved by modifying the acquisition parameters for CT. Conventional radiographic examinations such as chest, abdominal and ... imaging do ...

CT scans of the head, for example, expose patients to about the equivalence of one year of natural radiation. This is about 100 times the radiation dose from a chest X ray. Other CT examinations ...

Researchers projected CT use in 2023 would lead to more than 100,000 future cancer diagnoses, and if trends continued, may ...

Researchers at the University of Bath in the UK have developed a wearable belt-like device that can continuously scan the ...

Radiation from CT scans may cause as many as 5% of cancers diagnosed each year in the United States, research suggests.

The highest number of cancers in adults was projected to come from CT scans of the abdomen and pelvis, followed by chest scans ... imaging tests use ionizing radiation to create cross-sectional ...

Researchers estimated that the use of CT scans in 2023 would cause 102,700 lifetime cancers, including 93,000 cancers in adults and 9700 cancers in children. Radiation from computed tomography (CT ...
