The disproportionate risk burden of CT scanning on females and younger adults in Australia: a retrospective cohort study

Objectives: To explore the interaction of computed tomography (CT) use, dose and radiation risk of Australian Medicare-funded CT scanning and the impact on cancer incidence and mortality. Methods: This retrospective cohort study used records of Medicare subsidised CT scans in Australia (2006/07 to 2...
