Low-Level Ionizing Radiation From Noninvasive Cardiac Imaging: Can We Extrapolate Estimated Risks From Epidemiologic Data to the Clinical Setting?

Clinical decision-making regarding the use of low-level ionizing radiation for diagnostic and/or therapeutic purposes in patients with cardiovascular disease must, as in all other clinical scenarios, encompass the broad range of the risk–benefit ratio. Concerns regarding the late carcinogenic effect...
