The low doses of radiation used for imaging tests might increase a person’s cancer risk slightly, but it’s important to put this risk into perspective. Here are answers to some of the more common questions people have about radiation risks linked to imaging tests.
Core tip: The rapid increase in computed tomography (CT) utilisation has brought with it significant public concern with regards to the doses of ionising radiation delivered during scanning due to the fact that some experimental and epidemiological evidence has linked exposure to low-dose radiation to the development of solid organ cancers and l...
30 Νοε 2022 · This study aimed to identify the association of cumulative ionizing radiation from CT scans with pertaining cancer risks in adults. Five databases were searched from their inception to November 15, 2020. Observational studies reporting cancer risks from CT scans in adults were included.
7 Μαΐ 2024 · The low doses of radiation used in CT scans have not been shown to cause long-term harm. But for repeated scans, there may be a small increase in the lifetime risk of cancer. This can affect children more than adults.
Worldwide use of computed tomography (CT) scans has increased. However, the ionizing radiation from CT scans may increase the risk of cancer. This study examined the association between medical radiation from CT scans and the risk of thyroid cancer, lymphoma, and non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) in adults.
1 Μαρ 2012 · Mounting health worries over radiation risks are now driving efforts to limit avoidable CT scans and to reduce radiation doses where possible.
17 Φεβ 2023 · Computed tomography (CT) has witnessed tremendous growth in utilization. Despite its immense benefits, there is a growing concern from the general public and the medical community about the detrimental consequences of ionizing radiation from CT.
