New approaches to reduce radiation exposure.

Journal Article (Journal Article;Review)

Exposure to ionizing radiation is associated with a long-term risk of health effects, including cancer. Radiation exposure to the U.S. population from cardiac imaging has increased markedly over the past three decades.

This article reviews ways to optimally reduce radiation dose across the spectrum of cardiac imaging.
