with subsequent cancer and increased costs. Computed tomography (CT) is the gold …

BACKGROUND & AIMS: A goal of radiologists is to use computed tomography (CT) imaging
less frequently in younger patients because of radiation exposure. We evaluated abdominal …

Objectives Low-dose ionizing radiation from medical imaging has been indirectly linked with
subsequent cancer. Computed tomography (CT) is the gold standard for defining pancreatic …

METHODS: We conducted a retrospective study of consecutive patients with NP admitted to
University of California San Francisco Medical Center from January 2011 to June 2019. We …

Background There is a limited data on the radiation dose from computed tomography (CT) in
patients with acute pancreatitis (AP). The present study evaluated the radiation dose from …

Purpose To evaluate imaging utilization trends in patients with acute pancreatitis (AP) and to
assess independent predictors of radiology usage in relation to patient outcomes. Materials …

Introduction Abdominal imaging is often performed after pancreatic cancer resection. We
attempted to quantify the volume and estimate the cost of complex imaging after …
