Abstract
Pulmonary embolisms (PE) are a significant cause of morbidity and mortality, with computed tomography angiography (CTA) serving as a primary diagnostic tool. This retrospective cohort study, conducted at PSP Medical College Hospital and Research Institute, examines the demographic characteristics, cumulative radiation exposure, and prevalence of PE in patients undergoing pulmonary CTA over a four-year period. Results highlight an average age of 51.0 years and a PE prevalence of 8.2% in the overall cohort, with increased cumulative radiation exposure in older patients and those diagnosed with malignancies. Challenges in tracking lifetime radiation exposure and associated cancer risks underscore the need for systematic monitoring and risk stratification. Additionally, advancements in nanotechnology and green chemistry offer promising avenues for reducing radiation-related risks. This study emphasizes the importance of balancing diagnostic efficacy with the long-term health implications of medical imaging
