Journal ArticleDOI
Estimating Risk of Cancer Associated With Radiation Exposure From 64-Slice Computed Tomography Coronary Angiography
TL;DR: Estimates derived from simulation models suggest that use of 64-slice CTCA is associated with a nonnegligible LAR of cancer, which varies markedly and is considerably greater for women, younger patients, and for combined cardiac and aortic scans.
Journal ArticleDOI
Exposure to Low-Dose Ionizing Radiation from Medical Imaging Procedures
Reza Fazel,Harlan M. Krumholz,Yongfei Wang,Joseph S. Ross,Jersey Chen,Henry H. Ting,Nilay Shah,Khurram Nasir,Khurram Nasir,Andrew J. Einstein,Andrew J. Einstein,Brahmajee K. Nallamothu,Brahmajee K. Nallamothu +12 more
TL;DR: Imaging procedures are an important source of exposure to ionizing radiation in the United States and can result in high cumulative effective doses of radiation, which increased with advancing age and were higher in women than in men.
Journal Article
Estimated Radiation Dose Associated With Cardiac CT Angiography. Commentary
Jörg Hausleiter,Tanja Meyer,Franziska Hermann,Martin Hadamitzky,Markus Krebs,Thomas C. Gerber,Cynthia H. McCollough,Stefan Martinoff,Adnan Kastrati,Albert Schömig,Stephan Achenbach,Andrew J. Einstein +11 more
TL;DR: The comparable diagnostic image quality of CCTA may support an increased use of dose-saving strategies in adequately selected patients and effective strategies to reduce radiation dose are available but some strategies are not frequently used.

TL;DR: An appropriate use review of common clinical scenarios where cardiac computed tomography (CCT) is frequently considered found use of CCT angiography for diagnosis and risk assessment in patients with low or intermediate risk or pretest probability for coronary artery disease (CAD) was viewed favorably, whereas testing in high-risk patients, routine repeat testing, and general screening in certain clinical scenarios were viewed less favorably.
Journal ArticleDOI
Radiation Dose to Patients From Cardiac Diagnostic Imaging
Andrew J. Einstein,Kevin W. Moser,Randall C. Thompson,Manuel D. Cerqueira,Milena J. Henzlova +4 more
TL;DR: Physicians ordering and performing cardiac imaging should be very familiar with the dosage of radiation from cardiac diagnostic tests and ways in which dose can be minimized, including nuclear scintigraphy, CT for calcium scoring and coronary angiography (CTCA), and conventional coronary angIography (CCA).
