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

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

The looming threat of climate change is now an undeniable reality. With global temperatures on track to exceed the 1.5°C limit set by the Paris Agreement, and possibly rising over 3°C by the end of the century, the healthcare sector finds itself at the forefront of this global crisis. Responsible for approximately 5% of global emissions, healthcare...Read more
