Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
A comprehensive assessment of the oncogenic risks from radiological diagnostic procedures is mandatory considering the progressively increasing exposure to radiation for clinical reasons worldwide, particularly due to computed tomography (CT), which has raised concerns about the risk of radiation-induced cancer even at low levels of exposure. Despite great efforts in developing new radiation-induced cancer risk models, the real relationship between radiation dose and cancer risk is still unknown. Additionally, the impact of radiology activity on the climate is a matter of concern since radiology departments account for about 9% of the carbon emissions in medicine.
