The benefits of diagnostic imaging are immense and have revolutionized the practice of medicine. The increased sophistication and clinical efficacy of imaging have resulted in its dramatic growth over the past quarter century. However, the evolution of imaging has also resulted in a significant increase in the population's cumulative exposure to ionizing radiation and a potential increase in cancer risk. The ACR, an advocate for radiation safety since its inception in 1924, convened the ACR Blue Ribbon Panel on Radiation Dose in Medicine in 2006 and issued 37 recommendations for the College to address these issues. This report updates the status of these recommendations.
诊断成像的益处是巨大的,它彻底改变了医学实践。过去四分之一个世纪,成像技术的日益复杂和临床疗效的提高导致其得到了迅猛发展。然而,成像技术的发展也导致人们在一生中累积接受的电离辐射显著增加,癌症风险也可能随之增加。自 1924 年成立以来,美国放射学会一直倡导辐射安全,该学会于 2006 年成立了医学辐射剂量 ACR 蓝丝带专家组,并为学会制定了 37 项建议,以解决这些问题。本报告更新了这些建议的现状。
