Radiation doses estimated in infants with congenital heart disease
This study is the first to describe organ-specific radiation dose from cardiac catheterizations and diagnostic fluoroscopic studies in a neonatal CHD population, and may help in our understanding of the potential contribution of early childhood [ionizing radiation] exposure to future risk of malignancy,” the researchers suggested.Wong-Siegel has been awarded a 2023 Trainee Research Prize for fellows for the work.
