No evidence that CT scans, X rays cause cancer
Writing in the American Journal of Clinical Oncology, the researchers describe how the linear no-threshold model (LNT) - first proposed over 70 years ago - is used to estimate cancer risks from low-dose radiation, such as medical imaging.

Importance of X Ray Markers With Initials
Most X-ray markers with initials comprise of a privilege and a left letter with the radiographer's initials. There are additionally accessible markers to show situating of the body e.g. prostrate, or as to time when performing systems, for example, an Intravenous pyelogram.
