Journal ArticleDOI
Radiation exposure from CT scans in childhood and subsequent risk of leukaemia and brain tumours: a retrospective cohort study
Mark S. Pearce,J Salotti,Mark P. Little,Kieran McHugh,Choonsik Lee,Kwang Pyo Kim,Nicola Howe,Cécile M. Ronckers,Preetha Rajaraman,Alan W. Craft,Louise Parker,Amy Berrington de Gonzalez +11 more
TL;DR: Use of CT scans in children to deliver cumulative doses of about 50 mGy might almost triple the risk of leukaemia and doses ofabout 60 m Gy might triple therisk of brain cancer.
Journal ArticleDOI
Radiation dose associated with common computed tomography examinations and the associated lifetime attributable risk of cancer.
Rebecca Smith-Bindman,Jafi A. Lipson,Ralph Marcus,Kwang Pyo Kim,Mahadevappa Mahesh,Robert G. Gould,Amy Berrington de Gonzalez,Diana L. Miglioretti +7 more
TL;DR: Radiation doses from commonly performed diagnostic CT examinations are higher and more variable than generally quoted, highlighting the need for greater standardization across institutions.
Journal ArticleDOI
Projected cancer risks from computed tomographic scans performed in the United States in 2007.
Amy Berrington de Gonzalez,Mahadevappa Mahesh,Kwang Pyo Kim,Mythreyi Bhargavan,Mythreyi Bhargavan,Rebecca S. Lewis,Fred A. Mettler,Charles E. Land +7 more
TL;DR: These detailed estimates highlight several areas of CT scan use that make large contributions to the total cancer risk, including several scan types and age groups with a high frequency of use or scans involving relatively high doses, in which risk-reduction efforts may be warranted.
Journal ArticleDOI
Radiation Dose Associated with Common Computed Tomography Examinations and the Associated Lifetime Attributable Risk of Cancer
Rebecca Smith-Bindman,Jafi A. Lipson,Ralph Marcus,Kwang Pyo Kim,Mahadevappa Mahesh,Robert G. Gould,Diana L. Miglioretti +6 more
TL;DR: This work has sought to estimate the radiation dose associated with common CT studies in clinical practice and quantify the potential cancer risk associated with these examinations.
