Radiation. Regions. Responsibility. 🌍⚡
A JAMA study (INCAPS-4) analyzing 19,302 patients across 101 countries reveals striking global disparities in radiation exposure from cardiac imaging.
Median CCTA dose in Africa: 25.2 mSv
Western Europe: 4.6 mSv
Low-income nations had 96% higher CCTA doses.
Technology and training—not just access—determine safety.
As CAD rises worldwide, dose optimization must become a global quality benchmark.
