📢 How should we communicate risk in medical imaging? While radiation risk often dominates discussions around medical imaging, recent research presented at RSNA highlights a broader perspective: the risk associated with misdiagnosis may be substantially greater than the risk from radiation exposure itself. In their latest article, Anna Romanyukha, PhD and Niki Fitousi, PhD explore: 🔹 The evolving concept of risk in medical imaging 🔹 Clinical risk versus radiation risk 🔹 Lifetime Attributable Risk (LAR) estimation methodologies 🔹 The role of dose management systems in supporting meaningful risk communication The article also discusses the implementation of LAR calculations within Qaelum's DOSE platform, helping healthcare organizations translate dose data into understandable risk indicators while supporting optimization and informed decision-making. Effective risk communication requires more than discussing radiation exposure alone—it requires placing radiation risk within the broader clinical context to support balanced, patient-centered decisions.
