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.

Clinical use of imaging equipment accounts for more than 50% of greenhouse gas emissions in the radiology department, with MRI and CT equipment major contributors, researchers have reported. Thiel and colleagues performed an LCA in April 2023 of the diagnostic radiology practice of Vanderbilt University Medical Center in Nashville, TN.
