Radiation from imaging could lead to lung, breast and other future cancers, with 10-fold increased risk for babies.

A new UK study by the Institute of Cancer Research (ICR) in London has made a startling discovery: computed tomography (CT) scans, a ubiquitous medical imaging device available in hospitals and ...

Computed tomography scans – also known as CT, or Cat, scans – may be causing one in 20 cancers, a study has found. About five million of the scans, which use X-rays to create detailed internal ...

Based on data from 93 million CT scans performed on 62 million people in 2023, the researchers estimated that the CT scans would lead to 103,000 future cancers. To put that in context, those ...

Approximately 93 million computed tomography examinations, or CT scans, are performed on 62 million patients annually in the United States — but the radiation from that process can raise the ...

Your next computed tomography, or CT, scan might be riskier than commonly assumed. A study out today calculates that CT scans are contributing to a substantially greater share of cancer cases than ...

Radiation from CT scans may account for 5% of all cancers annually, according to a new study out of UC San Francisco that cautions against overusing and overdosing CTs. The danger is greatest for ...
