Background: Radiation dose evaluation is important to cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) for routine orthodontic treatment planning, especially for a significant proportion of children in ...

But a new study suggests the cancer risk from radiation emitted by the CT machine could be higher than previously thought — up to 103,000 cases from the 93 million scans performed in 2023.

PET/CT is widely used in oncology imaging, but concerns about radiation exposure and accuracy due to respiratory movement and gut motility persist. A recent study evaluated the use of PET/MRI compared ...

The rise is attributed to the growing number of scans and the improved modelling of radiation exposure to specific organs. CT scans have become a routine diagnostic tool across hospitals and clinics.

Reza Estakhrian/Getty Images A new study suggests that CT scans may slightly increase the lifetime risk of developing cancer. The researchers say the cumulative effects of ionizing radiation over ...

The approach used more accurate and individualized CT dose and utilization data than prior studies, allowing the researchers to produce more precise estimates of the number of radiation-induced ...

CT scans use ionizing radiation of the same type as standard X-rays, but in higher doses. A chest X-ray delivers about as much radiation as one receives naturally from the environment over 10 days ...

CT scan radiation accounts for 5 per cent of all cancers annually Repeated exposure to unnecessary computed tomography (CT) scans raises the risk of cancers, a new study has shown. IANS New Delhi ...

Getty A new study has found that the radiation from CT scans could eventually lead to over 100,000 future cancer diagnoses. On Monday, April 14, JAMA Internal Medicine — a monthly peer-reviewed ...

A recently published study has found that the radiation ... CT in adults, reflecting 37 500 of 103 000 cancers (37%) and 30 million of 93 million CT examinations (32%), followed by chest CT ...

The study, published Monday in JAMA Internal Medicine, suggests CT-related radiation is linked to even higher rates of cancer than previously thought. The 93 million CT scans performed in 2023 are ...
