Cancer risk in 680 000 people exposed to computed tomography scans in childhood or adolescence: data linkage study of 11 million AustraliansThe BMJ, 346
The paper covers three points. First, the doses we use for CT are higher than widely reported and are higher than what is needed for diagnosis and should be reduced. Second, these doses are in the range where extensive evidence indicates they will cause enough cancers to support efforts to reduce dose and therefore this risk. Third, that precise quantification of the risks from imaging radiation is less important than understanding that the risks are real, albeit small, and worth reducing, and that this reduction must be achieved using systems-based approaches.
