Radiation Dose and Imaging

Radiation Dose and Imaging is a research topic within Radiology, Nuclear Medicine and Imaging. Science Explorer counts 48k research works in it since 1950. 11.3% of them reached the world's top 10% most cited for their field and year.

This cluster of papers focuses on the health risks associated with radiation exposure from medical imaging, particularly computed tomography (CT) scans. It explores the potential cancer risks, dose optimization techniques, and radiological protection measures related to ionizing radiation. The cluster also addresses the impact of pediatric CT scans and occupational exposure to radiation.
