Study Links CT Scans to Future Cancer Risks

Dr. Kogan Discusses New Study Linking CT Scans to Future Cancer Risks – 20-Minute YouTube Video

In this 20-minute video, Dr. Kogan dives into a new study published in JAMA Internal Medicine in 2025, which revealed that over 100,000 future cancer cases in the U.S. may be linked to CT scans performed in 2023. This raises urgent concerns about the overuse of high-radiation imaging.

The analysis examined 93 million CT scans conducted on 62 million patients and identified the highest projected cancer risks from abdominal and pelvic CT scans, followed by chest scans. Particularly vulnerable populations include children and younger adults due to their higher tissue sensitivity and cumulative lifetime risk.

Join us as we discuss the study’s findings, implications for clinical practice, and practical strategies to minimize unnecessary radiation exposure while preserving diagnostic value.
