Abstract
With the use of computer simulation and analytic formulation, we obtained the cumulative effective dose and cancer risk at any age of exposure for adolescent patients of US and Hong Kong population undergoing repetitive full spine imaging using the EOS system. Female scoliotic patients would be at a statistically significant higher effective dose and cumulative cancer risk than the male patients undergoing the same EOS full spine imaging protocol.
