Imaging and radiation risks
theheart.org — “Myocardial perfusion imaging alone accounts for 22% of the effective radiation dose from all study procedures, while CT scans of the abdomen, pelvis, and chest account for nearly 38%. An editorial states that there is a need for high-quality imaging trials to justify the risk patients are being exposed to with these tests.” View full resource at theheart.org
