Rehani MM, Melick ER, Alvi RM, et al. - From the cohort of individuals who received cumulative effective dose of ≥ 100 mSv over a 5-year period, a sub-set was recognized with non-malignant diseases in order to ascertain number of cases without malignancy and ≤ 40 years of age with high cumulative radiation doses via recurrent CT exams and evaluate imaging appropriateness.

Proposed solutions involve the development of CT scanners with lesser radiation dose and additional development of suitability criteria.
