Abstract

<b>Copyright information:</b>Taken from "The American College of Radiology white paper on radiation dose in medicine:deep impact on the practice of cardiovascular imaging"http://www.cardiovascularultrasound.com/content/5/1/37Cardiovascular Ultrasound 2007;5():37-37.Published online 31 Oct 2007PMCID:PMC2186301. In the x-axis, we listed some common cardiologic examinations with the corresponding doses (1 mSv = 50 chest x-rays). The threshold of 50 mSv of epidemiological evidence is surpassed by a typical cardiologic patient with known or suspected coronary artery disease, in one single hospital admission.
