“First, this is a theoretical association and has not been evidenced by human real case studies. Having said that, CT scans use ionising radiation, unlike other imaging techniques like X-rays, digital ...

Doctors have known that radiation exposure from computed tomography—also called a CT scan—comes with cancer risk. But the risk seems to be higher than previously expected, according to a new study ...

That figure has raised concerns. Especially when you consider that the number of CT scans done in the US has jumped by 30% in just over a decade. In 2023, there were an estimated 93 million CT ...

A new analysis estimates that more than 100,000 cancer cases per year could be caused by radiation from CT scans. In some cases, the information provided by a CT scan could also be obtained from ...

Computer tomography scans, or CT scans, are an invaluable tool for diagnosing cancer and other conditions. But in a cruel twist, the medical imaging technique may be more harmful than once thought ...

A new study has set off alarm bells, attributing the overuse of computed tomography – or CT – scans to around 5% of new cancer diagnoses annually. Since 2007, this imaging technology has seen ...
