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.
