JAMA study shows wide global variation in cardiac imaging radiation dose "Radiation doses varied significantly between imaging tests and among patients receiving the same tests," researchers reported.

The research found that "radiation doses varied significantly between imaging tests and among patients receiving the same tests across centers, regions, and country income strata" #radiology #radiationdose

New benchmark helps monitor cumulative CT radiation dose The findings highlight the need for systematic dose tracking and rigorous justification of imaging.

The findings address the need for systematic dose tracking and more rigorous justification of imaging, particularly for frequently scanned patients #radiology #CT #radiationdose buff.ly/lvUQCG1

CT radiation dose reduced after 25 years of technology advances CT radiation doses have been reduced by a factor of two to 10, researchers have reported.

Advances in CT technology over more than two decades have translated into routine radiation dose reductions while preserving diagnostic performance #radiology #CT #radiationdose buff.ly/mI1Qdg9
