Americans get most radiation from medical scans

We fret about airport scanners, power lines, cell phones and even microwaves. It’s true that we get too much radiation. But it’s not from those sources — it’s from too many medical tests.

Americans get the most medical radiation in the world, even more than folks in other rich countries. The U.S. accounts for half of the most advanced procedures that use radiation, and the average American’s dose has grown sixfold over the last couple of decades.

Too much radiation raises the risk of cancer. That risk is growing because people in everyday situations are getting imaging tests far too often. Like the New Hampshire teen who was about to get a CT scan to check for kidney stones until a radiologist, Dr. Steven Birnbaum, discovered he’d already had 14 of these powerful X-rays for previous episodes. Adding up the total dose, “I was horrified” at the cancer risk it posed, Birnbaum said.

After his own daughter, Molly, was given too many scans following a car accident, Birnbaum took action: He asked the two hospitals where he works to watch for any patients who had had 10 or more CT scans, or patients under 40 who had had five — clearly dangerous amounts. They found 50 people over a three-year period, including a young woman with 31 abdominal scans.

When other radiologists tell him they’ve never found such a case, Birnbaum replies: “That tells me you haven’t looked.”

Of the many ways Americans are overtested and overtreated, imaging is one of the most common and insidious. CT scans — “super X-rays” that give fast, extremely detailed images — have soared in use over the last decade, often replacing tests that don’t require radiation, such as ultrasound and MRI, or magnetic resonance imaging.

Radiation is a hidden danger — you don’t feel it when you get it, and any damage usually doesn’t show up for years. Taken individually, tests that use radiation pose little risk. Over time, though, the dose accumulates.

Doctors don’t keep track of radiation given their patients — they order a test, not a dose. Except for mammograms, there are no federal rules on radiation dose. Children and young women, who are most vulnerable to radiation harm, sometimes get too much at busy imaging centers that don’t adjust doses for each patient’s size.

That may soon change. In interviews with The Associated Press, U.S. Food and Drug Administration officials described steps in the works, including possibly requiring device makers to print the radiation dose on each X-ray or other image so patients and doctors can see how much was given.

The FDA also is pushing industry and doctors to set standard doses for common tests such as CT scans.

“We are considering requirements and guidelines for record-keeping of dose and other technical parameters of the imaging exam,” said Sean Boyd, chief of the FDA’s diagnostic devices branch.

A near-term goal: developing a “radiation medical record” to track dose from cradle to grave.

“One of the ways we could improve care is if we had a running sort of Geiger counter” that a doctor checked before ordering a test, said Dr. Prashant Kaul of Duke University.

He led an eye-opening study that found that U.S. heart attack patients get the radiation equivalent of 850 chest X-rays over the first few days they are in the hospital — much of it for repeat tests that may not have been needed.

How much radiation is risky?

It’s hard to say. The best guess is based on the 1986 Chernobyl nuclear power plant accident and studies of Japanese atomic bomb survivors who had excess cancer risk after exposures of 50 to 150 millisieverts (a measure of dose) of radiation.

A chest or abdominal CT scan involves 10 to 20 millisieverts, versus 0.01 to 0.1 for an ordinary chest X-ray, less than 1 for a mammogram, and as little as 0.005 for a dental X-ray. Natural radiation from the sun and soil accounts for about 2 millisieverts a year.

A big study last year estimated that 4 million Americans get more than 20 millisieverts a year from medical imaging. Two percent of people in the study had high exposure — 20 to 50 millisieverts.

Another study by Columbia University researchers, published in 2007, estimated that in a few decades, as many as 2 percent of all cancers in the U.S. might be due to radiation from CT scans given now. Since previous studies suggest that a third of all tests are unnecessary, 20 million adults and more than 1 million children are needlessly being put at risk, they concluded.

Just because a scan didn’t find anything wrong doesn’t mean a test wasn’t needed. Scans are useful for many diagnoses. But many studies suggest people are getting too much imaging now. For example, Mayo Clinic researchers reviewed the medical records of 251 people given heart scans in 2007 and found that only a quarter of them were clearly appropriate.

Reasons for overuse:

_Accuracy and ease of use. Scans have become a crutch for doctors afraid of using exams and judgment to make a diagnosis. Some think a picture tells more than it does. Imaging that shows arthritis in a knee or back problems doesn’t reveal how to make it better, said Dr. Richard Baron, a primary care doctor in Philadelphia.

“Physical therapy for an orthopedic injury is always the first choice,” yet doctors rush to order tests, he said. “The question you should be asking when you do sophisticated imaging is, ‘Is there something I can fix with an operation?’”

_Malpractice fear. A missed heart attack or a burst appendix could be devastating for a patient — and mean a lawsuit.

“I have great sympathy for the ER physicians because of the responsibility placed in their hands with strangers that come in off the street,” said Louis Wagner, chief physicist at the University of Texas in Houston. “They have to make a decision that could mean life or death for a patient, and the fastest way to find out is CT.”

_Patient pressure. People urge doctors to “do something” to figure out what’s wrong, and “often, doctors feel that the way to demonstrate that they’re doing something is to order tests,” said Dr. Christopher Cassady, a radiologist at Texas Childrens Hospital and the American Academy of Pediatrics‘ expert on this topic.

At his hospital, doctors first do an ultrasound on suspected appendicitis cases instead of rushing into a CT scan. Ultrasounds require no radiation.

_Health care chaos. One doctor may not know that another has ordered the same test. If a patient is referred to a specialist, “it’s often easier for him to order another study than to figure out how to get the one that was done somewhere else,” Baron said.

_Insurance issues. X-rays often are required by insurers to prove health, or for students to study abroad.

_Availability. Rural hospitals may not have an ultrasound technologist on duty in the wee hours, but imaging machines are always there.

_Treatment choice. A quick fix for chest pain — artery-opening angioplasty — requires far more imaging and radiation than bypass surgery does. The same is true of “virtual colonoscopy” instead of the standard version.

Which tests are overused? A scientific group, the International Commission on Radiological Protection, cites routine chest X-rays when people are admitted to a hospital or before surgery; imaging tests on car crash victims who don’t show signs of head or abdominal injuries; and low-back X-rays in older people with degenerative, but stable, spine conditions.

Even when tests are justified, they often include more views than needed and too much radiation. Top offender: chest CT scans looking for clogged arteries and heart problems. Cardiologists are increasingly aware of this risk and are seeking solutions.

At Columbia University, a study on dummies by Dr. Andrew Jeffrey Einstein found two dose-modifying techniques could lower the needed radiation dose by 90 percent without harming image quality.

Another cardiologist and radiation safety expert, Dr. Gilbert Raff, showed the same in real life. A study he led of nearly 5,000 patients at 15 imaging centers in Michigan found that radiation dose could be cut by two-thirds with no loss of quality.

What should patients do?

“You should question everything — what’s the dose, why am I getting it? You should be an informed consumer,” said Dr. Fred Mettler, radiology chief in the New Mexico Veterans Administration health care system. He led a study of health effects after the Chernobyl accident and is a U.S. representative to the United Nations on radiation safety.

He advised challenging “big ticket” tests like CT scans that deliver a lot of radiation to the chest and abdomen — places where cancer is likely to develop. “You shouldn’t get too excited about feet and knee X-rays,” Mettler said.

Questions to ask about radiation scans:

_Is it truly needed? How will it change my care?

_Have you or another doctor done this test on me before?

_Are there alternatives like ultrasound or MRI?

_How many scans will be done? Could one or two be enough?

_Will the dose be adjusted for my gender, age and size? Will lead shields be used to keep radiation away from places it can do harm?

_Do you have a financial stake in the machines that will be used?

_Can I have a copy of the image and information on the dose?

Mettler suggests bringing a blank CD or thumb drive with you.

“You should have all of your stuff digitally on something,” he said. “I keep mine on my laptop.”

6 Natural Ways to Feel Happier

If you had horrible back or stomach pain, you’d get yourself to a doctor (or emergency room!), immediately, right? Yet, when the pain is emotional—for instance, feeling persistently worried, sad or hopeless—people are likely to resist seeking help for months or even years. In a survey by SELF in conjunction with Discovery Health and Mental Health America in Alexandria, Virginia, 53 percent of women say they’ve felt intense worry for weeks—a sign of anxiety—and 54 percent say they’ve been consistently sad or hopeless, hallmarks of depression. Yet only 35 percent have received an official diagnosis of anxiety or depression. It takes, on average, six years for people to get treated for mood disorders, according to a survey by the pharmaceutical company Eli Lilly. While suffering in silence is never a good idea, failing to seek help for anxiety or depression is downright dangerous, because the longer you wait, the worse things can get. In fact, increasing numbers of women are being diagnosed with a combination of anxiety and depression, because untreated anxiety can turn into depression and vice versa. This may be why two out of three depressed people also have symptoms of anxiety, according to Mental Health America.

Whether you doubt that your sadness warrants treatment (as 43 percent of women do), are embarrassed to talk to a professional (as 23 percent admit) or simply feel too apathetic or lethargic to make a visit, getting a diagnosis is first step to feeling like yourself again. Ask your physician for a referral to a psychologist or a psychiatrist or call your insurer for a list of mental health providers—you’ll be glad you did. If you aren’t struggling emotionally but suspect a friend is, tell her you sense that she’s feeling down and offer to assist her in finding a doctor. Thanks to your help, she’s likely to eventually start feeling better instead of worse. It may take a while to decide on the right course of treatment, whether it’s for you or your loved one, but in the meantime, making a few changes to your everyday habits can upgrade your outlook. Try the changes below to lift your mood, and to learn more about anxiety, depression and other emotional afflictions.

Sweat away sadness

We all know someone who says they exercise for their mental health, and guess what? Research proves they’re right! It turns out that working out may be as effective at relieving mild to moderate depression as the antidepressant Zoloft, because it stimulates the release of the feel-good chemical dopamine in your brain, according to a study from Duke University in Durham, North Carolina. And you don’t need to train for a triathlon to reap the benefits. Just 30 minutes of walking a day can improve your mood. If you’d rather stretch than stride, even taking a yoga class has been proven to boost levels of a neurotransmitter called gamma-aminobutyric acid that helps keep depression at bay.

Eat good food

Fish that contains omega-3 fatty acids enhances areas of the brain that affect your mood, so aim to eat a low-mercury swimmer, like wild salmon, arctic char or sardines twice a week. Have a baked spud on the side for a dose of vitamin B6, which lowers your depression risk. And foods rich in folate, such as spinach, beans and oranges, are filled with blues-busting serotonin—dig in, feel better!

Have sweet dreams

It’s not just beauty sleep—it’s happy sleep! Logging a solid seven to eight hours of rest is one of the most important things you can do for your emotional health. People who have insomnia are five times more likely to develop depression compared with those who are well-rested, a study from the University of North Texas in Denton finds. To make it easier to drift off, skip late-night TV and web surfing, jot down your worries on a notepad so you can rest with a clear mind and try soothing stretches before turning in.

Claim some quiet time

Something to contemplate: Frequent meditation is as effective as medicine at reducing bouts of depression, according to research. Yoga is a great way to clear your mind, but if you’re not the oming type, try setting aside 10 minutes in the morning to do deep breathing. Or, if you’re like me and prefer to stay in motion, try this “walking meditation:” Stride slowly for 20 minutes sans iPod. Stare at the ground 6 feet ahead and focus on the soles of your shoes lifting and dropping.

See the light

Depressed people who were exposed to a bright light for an hour upon waking up in the morning for five weeks experienced a 54 percent improvement in symptoms, according to a study from Wesleyan University in Middletown, Connecticut. Try flicking on an energy light, such as the Philips goLITE BLU ($199), as you read your morning paper or answer your email.  Spending more time outside can also lift your spirits and tame stress, according to research. Read a book on a park bench during your lunch break or bike to run your errands. Stuck inside? Try to sit near a window.

Phone a pal

Not surprisingly, lonely folks are more likely to be depressed, research from the University of Chicago suggests. To feel your happiest, aim to strengthen bonds with at least three close pals. Make buddy dates by automating them—agree to meet at the gym twice a week, or gather for a night of takeout and movie watching the first Friday of each month. You’ll keep your spirits high with a little help from your friends!

PCP Convention 2010: Medicine beyond Medicine: Traversing Boundaries, Crossing Borders

The landscape of the medical profession has changed dramatically over the recent decades. While the more traditional roles of health-care provider and scientist remain, challenging roles such as steward of patient resources, community educator, and patient advocate have emerged. To be able to fulfill such roles, we as today’s Filipino physicians have to be constantly aware of ourselves and our environments, define our boundaries, limitations and comfortable spheres, and be willing to go beyond them.

As internists, our comfort zones are more often confined to our own selves and our immediate families, and our own medical practice, be it general internal medicine or any of its subspecialties. The Philippine College of Physicians, hence, challenges its members to go beyond their comfort zones and extend beyond the concerns of self, family, or private practice, and be involved in the concerns of the community, nation and beyond. While there is an increasing burden of chronic illness and complexity of medical care, there is also an astounding development in the field of information and communication technology that has blurred geographic borders, enabling us to coordinate care across various settings and health care providers. While disparities in healthcare access among various groups continue to exist, the Filipino internist is given the chance to reaffirm his own relevance by becoming part of the solution to this inequity.

The PCP also urges its members to practice medicine beyond medicine – to scrutinize the nature and effects of the patient’s illness, to understand the complexity of clinical judgments and the ethical dimensions of physician–patient, physician-physician and physician-industry encounters, and to utilize the multifaceted dimensions of health to further improve patient care.

We therefore envision the PCP 2010 Annual Convention to be a venue wherein we, as Filipino internists, may explore our own territories, examine our own follies and strengths, and rediscover our own relevance. We will be redefining ourselves and our profession – beyond our traditional roles as clinicians, beyond the biomedical definition of health, beyond geographic boundaries, all within the bounds of medical ethics, all for the improvement of our patients’ welfare.  http://www.pcp.org.ph
