Assessment of radiation-induced cancer risk to patients undergoing computed tomography angiography scans

ABSTRACT

Background: Computed tomography angiography [CTA] scan is a suitable imaging technique to evaluate the blood vessels. However, one major disadvantage is the potential risk of cancer related to ionizing radiation exposure during the procedures. The aim of this investigation was to estimate the risk of exposure induced cancer death [REID] values for some common computed tomography angiography [CTA] scans
