[ RadSafe ] Radiophobia

[Theo Richel]

Hello,

In the radiological literature several articles have appeared suggesting that radiophobia might prevent people from necessary X-rays/CT-scans. I understand the reasoning, but so far none of these articles has shown that there really is a problem, that people actually refuse nuclear imaging or that tv-quacks/green ngos really recommend to refuse. Is there such a problem?

Thanks
