A new study by scientists from the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) and partners evaluates the risk of brain cancer in children and young adults who underwent computed tomography (CT) examinations. The study, published in The Lancet Oncology, shows a significant dose–response relationship between CT-related radiation dose and risk of brain cancer, and stresses the importance of justifying CT examinations in young people and lowering the radiation dose as much as is reasonably achievable.
