In an analysis of data collected over a 10-year period from four emergency departments, short-term exposures to ambient heat and particulate air pollution were associated with increased utilization radiography CT but not US or MRI.
Climate change negatively impacts individual and population-level health through multiple pathways, including poor air quality, extreme heat changes in infectious disease. These effects will lead to higher system medical imaging utilisation. At the same time, delivery of radiology services generates substantial greenhouse gas emissions. Mitigation strategies reduce environmental impact adaptation build resiliency current future climate should be centred on human health. A health-centred...
