Abstract
While ICM may modify the absorbed doses from diagnostic X-ray examinations, the effect is smaller than suggested by assays of circulating blood cells or blood dose enhancement. Conversely, the potentially large increase in dose to the endothelium of blood vessels means that macroscopic organ doses may underestimate the risk of radiation induced cardiovascular disease for ICM-enhanced exposures.
