Figure 2. - Effective radiation doses associated with common cardiovascular imaging tests. The average effective radiation doses of common cardiovascular imaging tests with current instruments and techniques are shown in relation to the average background radiation exposure from natural sources in the United States. CT indicates computed tomography; and 18F-FDG-PET, 18F-doxyglucose positron emission tomography. #PatientInfo #Cardiology #Radiology #Cardiac #Imaging #Procedures #Radiation #Doses #CT #Angiography #Nuclear #Stress #Comparison #Risks
