“…Moreover, the use of CT is expected to increase rapidly with the development of medical and economic CT. CT screening can detect early tumors, reducing the mortality associated with tumors; for example, screening for early lung cancer can reduce the mortality associated with lung cancer (30)(31)(32)(33). However, the importance of strict screening targets, appropriate screening intervals (34), and good radiation protection (35)(36)(37)(38)(39)(40)(41)(42)(43) in minimizing unnecessary CT scans and CT radiation dose must be emphasized (44).…”

Computed tomography (CT) is a modern examination method whose radiation characteristics vary depending on the population groups, the part of the body being examined, and other implementation conditions. The use of CT has become increasingly widespread. However, there is a growing concern regarding the harm caused by CT radiation. The opinions regarding whether low-dose CT can induce cancer differ. It is necessary to consider the research population, radiation characteristics, and different parts of the body being exposed to radiation before the application of radiation to ensure the knowledge used is scientifically sound and reasonable. Therefore, different studies have different opinions on whether low-dose CT induces cancer, and not all physicians are aware of this. The present review article aimed to impart relevant insights and a correct understanding of the hazardous effects of low-dose CT radiation on the human body and help physicians reduce unnecessary CT radiation exposure.

Exposure Dose Reduction for Radiologists with Combination of Angular Beam Modulation and Radiation Protection Drape in CT Fluoroscopy: A Phantom Study

Abstract: The combination of ABM and radiation protection drape can reduce finger radiation exposure at assumed assist tool position. The space dose rate of the standing position of radiologists can get a clear dose of radiation reduction by the combination of both.
