Health Alert: Radiation from Medical Imaging Scans Linked to Childhood Blood Cancers.
Following an analysis of health records from 3.7 million children, researchers report that cumulative exposure to radiation from advanced medical imaging—particularly CT scans—was associated with a significantly increased risk of cancers affecting the blood, bone marrow, and lymphatic system. For example, children who underwent one or two CT scans had about an 80% higher risk of blood cancer, while those who received three or more scans faced nearly a threefold increase in risk. Although CT scans are sometimes medically necessary, the authors emphasize that physicians should use them judiciously and prioritize non-radiation alternatives such as ultrasound or MRI whenever possible.
