- Abstract:
The article presents information on the harmful effects of radiations on human health. The whole-body scans is used as a diagnostic tool to find hidden tumors in cancer patients. A team of scientists at Columbia University found that the risks associated with one scan are relatively modest. But if a person gets the radiation exposure frequently, the chances of dying from a radiation-caused cancer are increased about 0.08%.
