Radiation in Medical Diagnostic Imaging

This presentation was recently given by Dr. Brett Heilbron at the 2013 Technology in Clinical Practice Cruise Conference. Learning objectives for the session were to understand the risks associated with ionizing radiation, identify ways to optimize patient benefit and minimize risk, and to discuss some of the controversies around medical imaging radiation. The presentation focuses on the use of a common technology in clinical settings — medical diagnostic imaging — and provides some guidance regarding this controversial topic.
