Auteurs : Harjit Singh, MD, FSIR, Janet A Neutze, MD

Abstract

Everyone is concerned about patient radiation dose. From 1993 through 2008, radiation dose attributed to medical radiation rose 82% from 0.54 to 3 mSv per capita. The largest component of the medical patient radiation dose was CT scanning (49%). This is despite the fact that CT scanning makes up only 17% of the total medical procedures that contributes to a patient radiation dose (NCRP Report 160).
