The video highlights the cancer risk associated with radiation exposure for atomic bomb survivors and for medical uses, which is controversial and usually played down by physicians. The video also discusses the level of radiation from x-ray exposure and the effects of low-level radiation. The safe level is not known, but it is known that CT scans fluoroscopy, mammography, and x-rays exposed the public to a high level radiation especially in young females. The risk of exposure should balance the medical benefit, and optimize radiation doses by exposing the patient only to enough radiation to get a clear image. There is a growing concern about the risk associated with giving a patient large doses of radiation, and the use of CT scans has increased recently in adults and children.
