107 Systematic Review of Ionizing Radiation Dose Exposure for Commonly Performed Chest Imaging Techniques in the Emergency Department Setting

Abstract

The frequency of radiological imaging use in the emergency department (ED) has increased nationwide. Diagnostic radiological imaging techniques used in the ED pose a long-term health threat to patients caused by ionizing radiation exposure. We aim to create a comprehensive estimate of the radiation dose exposure associated with various radiological imaging types of the chest in an ED setting.
