Healthcare’s environmental impact attracts closer attention, and imaging services are part of that picture. While conversations often focus on energy-hungry scanners such as MRI and CT, everyday x-ray services also carry a footprint that is easy to overlook. An assessment of radiography and fluoroscopy at a large academic medical centre examines...Read more

Efforts to decarbonise imaging often prioritise high-energy modalities, yet a comprehensive life cycle assessment of adult diagnostic ultrasound in a university hospital shows a different profile. Most greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions were not tied to scanner manufacture or electricity, but to routine supplies and linens used around examinations....Read more

Medical imaging is among the most energy-intensive areas in healthcare, yet operational practices and procurement decisions often overlook their wider environmental footprint. A life cycle assessment (LCA) of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and computed tomography (CT) at a 800-bed academic medical centre in the US quantified greenhouse gas (GHG)...Read more

Medical imaging is a growing contributor to healthcare’s environmental footprint, and the energy required to store imaging data is a significant part of that impact. Computed tomography of the chest, abdomen and pelvis (CT-CAP) for baseline staging in endometrial cancer generates large files, especially when post-processed series such as reformats...Read more

The National Health Service (NHS) in England, as part of its net zero commitment by 2045, is increasingly focused on identifying carbon hotspots within its operations. Secondary and tertiary care are known to account for a significant portion of healthcare emissions, yet previous assessments have often relied on expenditure-based models. A recent...Read more
