Cancer Risk Due to CT is Not Fully Appreciated
Researchers at the University of Saskatchewan (Saskatoon, Canada) conducted a survey among 328 medical professionals in Saskatchewan province to assess healthcare providers' knowledge regarding radiation dosing from CT scans. To do so, they queried them regarding the average radiation dose from an abdominal-pelvic CT, which is 10 millisieverts (mSv), compared to 0.02-0.2 mSv from one chest x-ray, which indicates that the radiation dose from an abdominal-pelvic CT scan is between 100-250 times that of a chest radiograph.

Shorter Radiation Course Recommended for Breast Cancer Treatment
A new study suggests that early-stage breast cancer (BC) patients who receive shorter radiation therapy (RT) treatments with higher doses per fraction show cosmetic, functional, and pain outcomes similar to those receiving a conventional longer, lower-dose per fraction courses of treatment.
