- "How will the test help diagnose or treat the heart problem?"
- "Are there alternatives that don't use radiation?"
- "What are the levels of radiation exposure, how will it affect the risk of cancer later in life and how does that compare to the risk from other common activities?"
After evaluating the patient, doctors will either perform a heart scan or a better treatment with out radiation. Even though the radiation risk is small, doctors will be able to further minimize risks for the patient. Other factors to consider are the tests accuracy, availability, cost, convenience as well as other risks aside from radiation.
