Cardiology accounts for 40% of patient radiology exposure and equals more than 50 chest X-rays per person per year’. He added: ‘Unfortunately, radiation risks are not widely known to all cardiologists and patients and this creates a potential for unwanted damage that will appear as cancers, decades later. We need the entire cardiology community to be proactive in minimising the radiological friendly fire in our imaging labs’.The paper lists doses and risks of the most common cardiology examinations for the first time. CT, PCI, cardiac electrophysiology, and nuclear cardiology deliver a dose equivalent to 750 chest X-rays (with wide variation from 100 to 2000 chest X-rays) per procedure.PCI for dilation of coronary artery stenosis totals almost 1 million procedures per year in Europe. The additional lifetime risk of fatal and non-fatal cancer for one PCI ranges from 1 in 1000, to 1 in 100 for a healthy 50-year- old man. Risks are 1.38 times higher in women and 4 times higher in children.Dr Picano said: ‘Even in the best centres, and even when the income of doctors is not related to number of examinations performed, 30 to 50% of examinations are totally or partially inappropriate according to specialty … [1]: /embed/inline-graphic-1.gif [2]: /embed/inline-graphic-2.gif [3]: /embed/inline-graphic-3.gif" @default.
