X-rays and CT scans has long been associated with adverse effects. Now the Scotsman quoted a study published in the British medical journal on this uncertain care when using these scans of pregnant women and babies.
X-rays performed on women and babies can potentially lead to increased risk of childhood cancers, according to research, which reinforces what the medical community is that long and therefore women are always asked about the status of their pregnancy before undergoing CT scans or x-rays, told the Scotsman.
The team consisting of researchers from the University of York and the National Institute of cancer expresses a deeper concern for criminality side effects because they use higher doses of radiation, the opposite of x-rays, told the Scotsman.
The research team reviewed 2,690 children cancer and 4,858 healthy children; all children have been born between 1976 and 1996, he wrote, the Scotsman, 305 children group suffered 319 in utero radiographic examination and 170 children received 247 x-rays when they were babies.
The team found a potential increased risk of cancer by 14 percent in those children exposed to x-rays in the womb; of 16 per cent increase was seen in the Group of babies, set out in the beginning as a child, says the Scotsman who noted that the greatest risk for lymphoma.
"Our results show the possible risk of cancer of the radiation at doses lower than those associated with CT scans, indicate a need for careful use of imaging procedures for diagnosing a broadcast of the abdomen/pelvis of the mother during pregnancy and children at a very early age," said the Group's research cited Scotsman. "I think the real worry is CT scans, especially from an American standpoint," said Jill Simpson, from the University of York, who added that more research is necessary for larger groups, added to the Scotsman.
"Health risks from x-rays and CT scans are usually low and the benefits outweighed by receipt of a proper diagnosis and appropriate treatment. It is important, however, that women tell their doctor if they are pregnant, as we know that unborn babies have already been exposed to the risk of damage to DNA, which can cause x-rays, "said Dr. Joanna Owens, Manager of information science in the United Kingdom, cancer research, the Scotsman.
Recently we wrote that exposure to radiation at low doses of cardiac images and other procedures in force, the following heart attack has been linked to increased cancer risks. Radiation from medical procedures was a matter of fitting in recent months. We previously wrote that the risks for the development of childhood leukemia increases with diagnostic x-rays, according to a study of the researchers of the University of California-Berkeley School of public health. Late last year, the United States health urged regulators, manufacturers of criminality machines to apply two recommendations to reduce the likelihood that patients undergoing procedures may be exposed to radiation overdose.
Children also face a potentially serious radiation risk when they go to the dentist, according to a report in the New York Times.
