A study of the most recent evidence published today in The BMJ reveals that low doses of ionising radiation are related to a slightly elevated excess risk of heart disease.
Lung cancer is the main cause of cancer death in the United States and around the world. Low-dose chest computed tomography (LDCT) is suggested for monitoring persons aged 50 to 80 with a significant history of smoking or who actively smoke. Lung cancer screening with LDCT has been demonstra
