Diagnostic Imaging Radiation: How Much of a Clinical Issue?
Sunday, April 3, 8:00-9:30 AM
The issue of radiation dose associated with diagnostic imaging can be challenging to clinicians. In this session, attendees will hear from a physicist and a representative from the FDA in what promises to be an interesting view from the technical and regulatory perspective. Clinicians also will discuss risk/benefits associated with imaging with an interesting twist.
