Rosemary Gibson es autora de\u00a0La trampa del tratamiento, c\u00f3mo el uso excesivo de la atenci\u00f3n m\u00e9dica est\u00e1 arruinando su salud y qu\u00e9 puede hacer usted para prevenirlo<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Cada a\u00f1o se realizan setenta millones de tomograf\u00edas computarizadas, a veces llamadas tomograf\u00edas computarizadas. Estas y otras pruebas de diagn\u00f3stico por im\u00e1genes brindan informaci\u00f3n valiosa a los m\u00e9dicos sobre su condici\u00f3n m\u00e9dica y el mejor tratamiento para usted.<\/p>\n

Sin embargo, los investigadores han descubierto que las tomograf\u00edas computarizadas pueden exponer a los pacientes a niveles de radiaci\u00f3n que pueden ser de 50 a 500 veces m\u00e1s altos que los de una radiograf\u00eda est\u00e1ndar. Seg\u00fan los estudios, los m\u00e9dicos subestiman significativamente la exposici\u00f3n de los pacientes a la radiaci\u00f3n. Altas dosis de radiaci\u00f3n aumentan el riesgo de c\u00e1ncer.<\/p>\n

Para asegurarse de recibir solo las pruebas que necesita, ni m\u00e1s ni menos, aseg\u00farese de que su m\u00e9dico conozca otras tomograf\u00edas computarizadas, pruebas de medicina nuclear y pruebas de diagn\u00f3stico por im\u00e1genes que le hayan podido realizar.<\/p>\n

Aqu\u00ed hay cinco preguntas para hacerle a su m\u00e9dico:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. \u00bfCu\u00e1l es el motivo de la prueba?<\/li>\n
  2. \u00bfHar\u00e1 alguna diferencia en mi tratamiento?<\/li>\n
  3. \u00bfQu\u00e9 pasa si no lo tengo?<\/li>\n
  4. \u00bfExiste alg\u00fan m\u00e9todo alternativo que no implique exposici\u00f3n a la radiaci\u00f3n, como una ecograf\u00eda o una resonancia magn\u00e9tica?<\/li>\n
  5. \u00bfDeber\u00eda preocuparme por la exposici\u00f3n acumulativa a la radiaci\u00f3n de las pruebas de diagn\u00f3stico que me han hecho?<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Al hacer estas preguntas, proporcionar\u00e1 informaci\u00f3n importante a su m\u00e9dico. Adem\u00e1s, tomar\u00e1 m\u00e1s control sobre su salud y su atenci\u00f3n m\u00e9dica. Eso es bueno.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
