Again, not necessarily. Different things cause different cancers. You're unlikely to get melanoma from smoking; you're unlikely to get liver cancer from a sunburn. CTs may not cause significant amounts of wrist/knee cancer - I can't speak either way on that - but that wouldn't mean they're 100% safe elsewhere. For starters, wrist/knee imaging needs less radiation - they're relatively thin parts of the body, and relatively small regions. | ||

But then the assumptions behind the article is not general, and the conclusions would have to amended to the radiation dosis and/or tissue. Which makes sense, of course. |
