Risk Communication in Medical Imaging: Key Issues and Current Approaches

This article examines current approaches to risk communication in medical imaging, highlighting the balance between clinical and radiation risk. It discusses quantitative risk modeling presented at RSNA 2025 and reviews lifetime attributable risk (LAR) estimation methodologies, including their implementation within dose management systems. The discussion emphasizes the importance of contextualizing radiation risk within a broader clinical risk–benefit framework.
