I WAS thinking about having one of these! Full-body CT scans pose high cancer risk AFP Wednesday, September 1, 2004 CHICAGO Full-body computed tomography, or CT, scans increase a person's risk of cancer, according to a study released Tuesday in the journal Radiology that raises questions about the growing popularity of these screenings among healthy people. . Just one of these scans imparts a dose of radiation comparable to that received by some Japanese atomic-bomb survivors, while repeated annual screenings carry a significantly elevated lifetime cancer risk, the study found. The researchers said that among otherwise healthy 45-year-olds, one full-body screening would typically cause a fatal form of cancer in 1 of every 1,200 people.

NYC economic expansion slowed in August: report by Tom Fredrickson New York City’s economic expansion slowed in August, purchasing managers say. The NAPM-New York Report on Business, a survey of New York City purchasing managers, found that the current conditions index dropped to 59.3 in August from 73.2 in July. The numbers reflect a reduction in the number of respondents who said business conditions are improving. No one actually reported conditions getting worse. Despite the slower pace of recovery, the economy is improving, the survey indicates. Any numbers over 50 reflect expansion, while numbers below 50 reflect a decline. The report has indicated growth in the local economy for the last 12 consecutive months.
