Strategies for Reducing Radiation Exposure with PET Insert presenter information here “In addition to cardiac PET having improved diagnostic utility compared with SPECT imaging, patient radiation exposure is significantly less with most PET perfusion radiotracers.” Beside shock blast and heat a nuclear bomb generates high intensity flux of radiation in form of -rays x-rays andneutrons as well as large abundances of short and long-lived radioactive nuclei which c Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
