The study, conducted using computer models,suggests the organs of obese individuals receive up to 62 percent more radiation energy during a CT scan, compared with those of normal weight individuals.
The increase in radiation exposure occurs because radiologists often increase the power settings when doing scans on obese people, said study researcher Aiping Ding, of the Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute in Troy, N.Y. When scanners are used on their normal settings, the image is blurry because the extra fat tissue shields the organs from the X-rays.
I know I've mentioned this in passing. The fact this isn't common knowledge should be criminal. If you are getting an exam and your tech doesn't mention they're having to use STUPIDLY high levels of radiation to get a decent picture? Please sue. No, really. Please.
LOTD. Holy merde, what's wrong with people.

Apr. 6th, 2012 12:36 pmI'm just being stupidly annoyed because I need sleep. That's all.
No, really. And no, I do not want to be an adult and accepting about it.
At. All.
