BACKGROUND Although many patients undergoing kidney transplant are exposed to multiple examinations that increase cumulative effective doses (CEDs) of ionizing radiation, no data are available characterizing their total longitudinal radiation burden and relating radiation burden with risk factors for more exposure. METHODS We did a retrospective cohort study of 92 patients (mean age 52 years;...
