Medical x-ray examinations, including computed tomography and cardiac catheterization, are frequently used for both diagnosis and treatment of congenital heart disease (CHD). At present, there is an ongoing discussion about the role of radiation exposure at early ages from these examinations and the risk for cancer in CHD patients,1 especially in cases receiving repeated multiple procedures involving ionizing radiation.

Abstract
Medical x-ray examinations, including computed tomography and cardiac catheterization, are frequently used for both diagnosis and treatment of congenital heart disease (CHD). At present, there is an ongoing discussion about the role of radiation exposure at early ages from these examinations and the risk for cancer in CHD patients,1 especially in cases receiving repeated multiple procedures involving ionizing radiation.File in questo prodotto:
