Performance comparison between total variation (TV)-based compressed sensing and statistical iterative reconstruction algorithms (2009, background): “The ability to properly account for photon statistics is particularly important in modern CT technology since there is increasing concern over the delivered radiation dose to patients (Brenner and Hall 2007).”
Brain tumor detection and classification using machine learning: a comprehensive survey (2021, background): “A study [36] determined that in the USA alone, the annual CT scan rate is 62 million, with 4 million for children.”
Guidelines for the management of inflammatory bowel disease in adults (2011, background): “It is desirable for clinicians to discuss imaging with a radiologist to avoid unnecessary exposure to ionising radiation (see table 5).(40) 41”

The care of patients with an abdominal aortic aneurysm: the Society for Vascular Surgery practice guidelines. (2009, background): “However, the frequent use of CT scanning has raised concerns related to the added costs of these studies, as well as cumulative radiation exposure and potential lifetime cancer risk.(488) Although ultrasound avoids radiation exposure and use of nephrotoxic contrast agents, concerns have been raised ”
