The Food and Drug Administration is currently considering measures that would further regulate the use of medical radiation. These regulations will likely impact the frequency and use of CT scans.
The regulations are meant to protect patients against the dangers of over-exposure to medical readiation. Such overexposure has been linked to an increased chance of contracting cancer.
