The increasing use of serial multimodality imaging in the management of @entity421 raises concern of over exposure to ionizing radiation in @entity1 , especially from repeated computed tomographic (CT) scans. This study reviews the utilization of multimodality imaging in @entity1 with @entity421 at our institution and analyzes any potential radiation-related complications. Twenty-eight @entity1 were identified. Three @entity1 developed late complications-acute @entity2800 , @entity2590 , and @entity7793 . Using the @entity1 's age and body part imaged, CT dose length product and effective dose was estimated with the use of a conversion factor for 19 @entity1 . The effective doses were higher in the 3 @entity1 with late complications than the other @entity1 in the cohort (P=0.018). These results suggest an increased risk for adverse effects with higher CT exposures and effective doses. On the basis of our data and published data, methods to decrease the doses of radiation from medical imaging need to be explored. The number of CT scans may be limited. Implementing the Image Gently concept to decrease radiation exposure can be beneficial in modification of CT acquisition parameters.
