Personalised tracking of radiation doses is becoming a reality
Professor Jun Deng of Yale University School of Medicine has focused his extensive experience in therapeutic radiology and dose risk analysis to create a new system of tracking patient exposure in great detail. Establishing a personal organ dose archive (PODA) to track and accumulate each patient’s organ doses in four dimensions, opens the possibility of using big data techniques to better inform clinicians and the patients themselves.

Personalized and Conscientious Medical Imaging To Image or Not to Image
Medical imaging has revolutionized patient care in the past 100 years. Yet, radiation exposure to individuals from medical imaging procedures has increased substantially and by some estimates more than 8-fold since 1980, which may become a serious public health issue due to increased risk for secondary cancers from radiation exposure. Whether to image and how to image an individual patient is not only an ongoing technical challenge but also an ethical concern to the public health in an era of ever-increasing radiation exposure.
