Children are especially vulnerable because their rapidly dividing cells are more susceptible to radiation damage and also because they will live long enough for even slow-growing cancers to take their toll. Perhaps the biggest risk factor, investigated by the second study, led by Dr. Lane Donnelly at Cincinnati's Children's Hospital, is that...
...harm from that are much greater than the chances of harm from the radiation. The concerns raised by this study should highlight, however, the need for these tests being ordered appropriately, done correctly and interpreted correctly in order to get the maximum information from the minimum of exposure."
