Assessment of Thyroid Cancer Risk After Cervical Computed Tomography: The Impact of Bismuth Shielding
Background: Computed tomography (CT) is vastly applied in X-ray procedures because of its high quality in detecting the anatomical structures of the body. However, it leads to an increase in patient dose, resulting in carcinogenesis. In the head and neck CT, the thyroid is the most important at-risk...
