exposure in some patients; the risks should be considered carefully when imaging

that 1.5-2.0% of US population cancers may be caused by CT radiation exposure. A
retrospective, cohort study at a tertiary academic medical center identified
31,462 patients undergoing diagnostic CT during 2007; and 190,712 CTs over 22
years. Estimated lifetime attributable risk (LAR) for cancer was calculated. In
this cohort, baseline cancer rates predicted 13,214 cancers and 6,292 fatal
cancers; 98 additional cancers (62 fatal) were predicted from CT.
