Screening in Medical Imaging

Screening can be important to a population, and in some cases, radiation is utilized as a main tool in the screening process and the follow-up or monitoring procedures. For this assignment, you will select a disease that radiation is used for screening. The disease can be cancer, or it can be another disease where radiation is utilized. Cancer screening seems to be most spoken about, important, and controlled, as the disease itself causes fear and visions of death upon diagnosis. This assignment should be summative in nature, and include many components that we have spoken about this session. The content of the assignment should include:

Radiation

1. Risks of radiation; what makes this screening process appropriate.

2. What is the dose of radiation and how would this fall within the BEIR standards.
