Radiation dose associated with common computed tomography examinations and the associated lifetime attributable risk of cancer.
Arch Intern Med. 2009; (22): 2078-86
Use of computed tomography (CT) for diagnostic evaluation has increased dramatically over the past 2 decades. Even though CT is associated with substantially higher radiation exposure than conventional radiography, typical doses are not known. We sought to estimate the radiation dose associated with common CT studies in clinical practice and quantify the potential cancer risk associated with these examinations.
