In a recent paper in the Journal of the American Medical Association, [8] my colleagues and I applied cancer risk models to estimate the lifetime attributable risk of cancer from CTCA. Our risk models ...

Patients who received doses of radiation during cardiac catheterization procedures had a large variability regarding their risk for cancer, according to a study published in Circulation: ...

Radiation exposure and cancer risk with CT screening After 10 years of low-dose CT screening in patients, 1.5 lung cancers and 2.4 major cancers per 10,000 people screened were induced by radiation.

A new study published today in the Journal of the American Medical Association shows that radiation from a high-resolution cardiac CT scan—the newest, noninvasive test for detecting heart disease—may ...

CT scans provide much more detailed images than plain x-rays but expose patients to much higher doses of radiation. In a cross-sectional retrospective study of 11 CT procedures, researchers estimated ...
