No references found			The American College of Radiology, in conjunction with other imaging stakeholders, has long been effectively addressing issues regarding radiation dose from medical imaging exams and inappropriate utilization of these scans. MEDICAL IMAGING SAVES AND EXTENDS LIVES by Imaging Update Byline: ANI Washington, September 21 (ANI): A new study suggests that prospective electrocardiogram (ECG) gating can significantly reduce the patient radiation dose delivered during computed tomography (CT) angiography, a common noninvasive technique used to evaluate vascular disease. How to reduce patient radiation dose during CT angiography by Asian News International To be remote-handled, the material also must emit 200 or more millirems of radiation dose per hour.
