CT scan reference levels published to support lung cancer screening program
Low dose chest CT scans have been added to Australia’s national diagnostic reference levels to support optimisation of patients’ radiation exposure.
Study on current CT scanning practices and the incidence of future cancers
This computational modelling study evaluated the relationship between current computed tomography (CT) scanning practices and future incidence of cancer in the USA. Data on CT use was extracted from a market outlook survey of hospitals and imaging facilities in the USA. CT scans were subdivided into categories and an average dose per category was determined using data from a US CT dose registry.

Occupational Radiation Exposure for medical facilities
We've developed free online Occupational Radiation Exposure (ORE) material for all people working in medical facilities that use ionising radiation, for example, X-rays and CT nuclear medicine.

Updated diagnostic reference levels for medical imaging
ARPANSA has published updated diagnostic reference levels for medical imaging. These reference levels help clinics understand typical radiation doses received during medical imaging.
