An estimated 61,510,000 patients underwent 93,000,000 Computed tomography (CT) examinations in 2023 [...].

  This study found that at current utilization and radiation dose levels, CT examinations in 2023 were projected to result in approximately 103,000 future cancers over the course of the lifetime of exposed patients.

  If current practices persist, CT-associated cancer could eventually account for 5% of all new cancer diagnoses annually.
