Influence of Body Mass Index on Radiation Exposure Across Imaging Modalities in the Evaluation of Chest Pain
Background Essential to a patient‐centered approach to imaging individuals with chest pain is knowledge of differences in radiation effective dose across imaging modalities. Body mass index (BMI) is an important and underappreciated predictor of effective dose. This study evaluated the impact of BMI...
