Hobbs et  al, in their article “Physician Knowledge of Radiation Exposure and Risk in Medical Imaging” [1], have analyzed the knowledge of physicians with different specialties about radiation exposure and risk in diagnostic imaging and also assessed the effectiveness of a short educational program on i mproving physicians’ knowledge.
