This educational piece describes how to address patients’ past – and future potential – radiation exposures when making an imaging decision “now.” The BEIR committee has endorsed a linear no-threshold model to explain the relationship between radiation exposure and cancer risk. This model implies that past – and future potential – exposures should not impact current decisions. We present an analogy which deconstructs these counterintuitive conclusions and facilitates translation of key radiation-risk principles to practice.
