9) And those data, Brenner says, show a statistically significant trend of increasing cancer risk with increasing organ dose between 5 and 100 mSv.

CT scans: balancing health risks and medical benefits

A chest CT delivers an organ dose to the breast equal to about 15 sets of mammograms.

Medical imaging needs a new image

The overall discussion about pregnancy and radiation dose is not consistent, and in fact, the authors seem to switch between effective dose and organ dose with significant errors.

Robust analysis capabilities for dose optimization and consideration of patient size and demographics allow for effective organ dose calculations and patient risk assessment.

For example, does the marker of exposure relate to an exposure dose, an internal dose, a target organ dose, or a biologically effective dose?

Organ doses measures through phantoms provide direct mechanism to estimate doses for patients undergoing radiological procedures [3].

Children are at particular risk because of their longer life expectancy, more active cell division, and higher organ doses at a lower body mass (Chong et al.

It also incorporates recent developments in decontamination methods and the decorporation of radionuclides in contaminated people; and draws from publications of the International Commission on Radiological Protection for data and biokinetic and dosimetric models of organ doses, total-body and organ retention values, and excretion rates of radionuclides.

The study authors noted that "whole-body CT examinations result in much higher organ doses than those with conventional single film x-rays.

Whole-body CT may raise cancer mortality

In order to determine a more accurate effective dose equivalent, individual organ doses would have to be determined, which would be impossible during clinical MDCT.
