Title The fallacy of comparing diagnostic radiation with background radiation; and the need to learn from past mistakes
 
Creator Emby, D J
 
Subject Radiology Radiation dose; CT scanning; background radiation; radiation as a cause of cancer
Description The subject of radiation exposure for diagnostic purposes is currently a ‘hot’ topic, and it is appropriate that the debate around this issue is given exposure in the pages of the SAJR. I would like to comment on a few of the points raised by Dr Tipler in his article that appeared in the June 2010 SAJR.
