Are We Too Reliant on Medical Imaging?

[@susansherlock6934]

Turning to animals and vets, I am surprised how often vets will perform ultrasounds on pets, especially if you have pet insurance...

[@marievictoire1939]

Where are the greatest number of images prescribed?
In dental practice.

[@susansherlock6934]

X-rays...

You don't use "coils" to remove ischemic blockages. Coils are used for aneurysms.

Surely the real question is "How reliable is medical imaging as a diagnostic tool?"

[@danielhopkins296]

So the radiation from a CAT scan is comparable to the radiation from a banana; that's bananas

[@SergioBriMa]

No it’s just one banana 🍌

[@HebaruSan]

No, it's quite a lot more than that, something like seventy thousand bananas

[@lj8549]
