    These doses are similar to the CTDIvol values used in this study. The biologic effect of low-dose radiation from medical imaging studies has been debated over the last 2 decades.23,26,27 However, the BEIR VII phase 2 report that we followed here is the accepted stance of the National Academy of the Sciences on the effect of low-dose radiation, and the algorithms follow the linear no-limit theory except in the case of leukemia where a linear quadratic model is used.21

    Citation Excerpt :

    The cancer risk associated with computed tomography (CT) is controversial largely because there is no clear causal relation, with the associated cancers not occurring for 10 to 20 years [1]. Recent studies have informed and raised concerns in both the lay and medical communities about these risks, showing the high use of CT, the potentially substantial organ radiation dose from CT, and the not-unimportant associated risk of cancer [1–4]. In particular, serial studies such as renal stone CT, which are performed frequently and on younger patients, are often criticized for the associated high cumulative radiation dose [5–8].
