"At a 50 percent prevalence of CAD, we found that performing coronary CTA before cardiac catheterization results in an average cost saving of $789 per patient with a false-negative rate of 2.5 percent and average additional radiation exposure of 1-2 mSv, which is minimal," said Dr. Halpern.

Mammograms are a specific type of imaging that uses a low-dose x-ray system to examine the breasts and the effective radiation dose from a mammogram is about 0.7 mSv, which is about the same as the average person receives from background radiation in three months, according to information published by the American College of Radiology (ACR) and the Radiological Society of North American
