Background The detrimental health effects associated with the receipt of moderate (0.1–1
Gy) and high (> 1 Gy) acute doses of sparsely ionising radiation are well established from …

Children are at a greater risk than adults of developing cancer after being exposed to
ionizing radiation. Because of their developing bodies and long life expectancy post …

Over one million European children undergo computed tomography (CT) scans annually.
Although moderate-to high-dose ionizing radiation exposure is an established risk factor for …

Importance Mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI), or concussion, in children is a rapidly growing
public health concern because epidemiologic data indicate a marked increase in the …

Background Computed tomography (CT), a strong diagnostic tool, delivers higher radiation
doses than most imaging modalities. As CT use has increased rapidly, radiation protection is …

Background Ionizing radiation is an established carcinogen, but risks from low-dose
exposures are controversial. Since the Biological Effects of Ionizing Radiation VII review of …

Deriving accurate structural maps for attenuation correction (AC) of whole-body positron
emission tomography (PET) remains challenging. Common problems include truncation …

Summary Background The European EPI-CT study aims to quantify cancer risks from CT
examinations of children and young adults. Here, we assess the risk of brain cancer …

Importance Diagnostic low-dose ionizing radiation has great medical benefits; however, its
increasing use has raised concerns about possible cancer risks. Objective To examine the …

Background Ionizing radiation use for medical diagnostic purposes has substantially
increased over the last three decades. Moderate to high doses of radiation are well …
