The impact of modern imaging techniques on carbon footprints: relevance and outlook
Abstract: Abstract
It is estimated that the health care sector accounts for 4.0–8.5% of total global CO2 emissions, with medical imaging representing an energy-intensive contributor. We outline the carbon footprint of the imaging modalities most relevant to urology and list practical recommendations that can have a positive impact on sustainability.
Patient summary
Energy use for medical imaging scans is a significant contributor to carbon emissions by the health care sector. Steps to improve sustainability can include choosing the least energy-intensive option among the scan types suitable for each patient and condition, and switching off equipment when it is not in use
