11 Ιαν 2019 · The use of computed tomography (CT) scans for medical imaging has skyrocketed in recent years, most significantly in the United States, and scientists have sought to determine whether the resulting radiation exposure in children can increase their risk of developing brain tumors later in life.
6 Δεκ 2022 · Despite the unquestionable benefits of diagnostic radiation exposure, the potential health risks are of considerable concern, particularly for the risk of brain cancer following paediatric head CT examinations.
The age-specific impact of radiation is well documented 5–12; for example, the estimated attributable risk of death from cancer from a single head CT is highest for the youngest patients 5,6,31 and rapidly declines after 20 years of age. 6 The highest risks were observed in children less than 5 years of age and appear to be exponentially ...
6 Δεκ 2022 · Associations between external exposure to ionising radiation in childhood and the risk of brain tumours have been observed in several studies, including studies of patients who underwent CT scans.
10 Οκτ 2021 · Continued efforts to collect data on trends in pediatric CT scans is important as children are at much greater risk of radiation-related cancer than adults. 46 There is also limited data on exposure levels in lower- and middle-income countries, but there are growing concerns about dose levels and appropriateness of use. 55,56 More research is ...
Exposure to ionizing CT scans during childhood or adolescence was shown to increase the risks of developing leukemia, brain cancer, and other cancers (13,21). Our study reveals the potential risk of adulthood medical radiation exposure in the development of thyroid cancer, leukemia, and NHL.
9 Νοε 2023 · Several studies estimated the hematological malignancies risk associated with CT scan radiation in children and young adults in large-scale national cohort 12,13,14,15,16,17,18 and...
