• Cancer risks from diagnostic radiology. (2008, background): “In a recent survey of radiologists and ER physicians [131], about three-quarters of physicians significantly underestimated the radiation dose from a CT scan, whereas 53% of radiologists and 91% of ER physicians did not believe that CT scans increased cancer risks.”
• American College of Radiology white paper on radiation dose in medicine. (2007, background): “Radiologists understand the potential dangers from ionizing radiation far better than patients do, yet not every radiologist provides a balanced assessment of the risks and benefits of imaging when patients undergo testing [ 51 ].”
