A team of researchers at Boston Children’s Hospital has developed an age-specific dose catalog for estimating radiation exposure to children from diagnostic and interventional radiology fluoroscopy procedures. They analyzed metrics to estimate age-specific effective dose per IR procedure type and diagnostic fluoroscopy exam.

Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has said CT is still the preferred imaging modality for patients with medical devices. The FDA released the guidance -- which is mostly specific to CT -- noting that it is not aware of any confirmed interference from other imaging technologies such as x-ray, fluoroscopy, angiograms, or mammograms.
