Beschreibungen/Notizen

• Mathews et al determine if ionizing radiation from computed tomography (CT) scans can lead to an increased risk of cancer. Results show that for people exposed to at least one CT scan before age 20 years, cancer incidence was increased by 24% on average; the proportional increase in cancer risk was greater after scans at younger ages.
