Ct Scans May Elevate Cancer Risk, Suggests Columbia Study

A recent study by Dr. David Brenner, professor of radiation oncology and public health at CUMC, suggests that people who undergo multiple full-body CT (computed tomography, also known as CAT) scans may face elevated cancer risk due to high levels of radiation exposure. The study received coverage from national and local media outlets, including the Wall Street Journal, Washington Post, Los Angeles Times, USA Today, Reuters, Boston Herald, San Francisco Chronicle, Newsday, Houston Chronicle, NPR, CBS Evening News, and ABC World News Tonight. ###
