In a recent interview, Rebecca Smith-Bindman, M.D., offered key insights on new research examining the link between computed tomography scans and projected future cases of radiation-induced cancer.

A new study estimates that computed tomography (CT) exams performed in the United States in 2023 will lead to over 100,000 future cases of radiation-induced cancer.
