I'm thrilled to say our article on "Proposed Priorities for Low-Dose Radiation Research and Their Relevance to the Practice of Radiology" was published in Radiology! What a pleasure working with a stellar team of national experts. This study explores the impact of low-dose radiation, which is commonly used in medical imaging and various industries, and assesses a strategic plan's recommendations for national multidisciplinary research program on low-dose radiation's health effects. The U.S. Congress and the Department of Energy collaborated with the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine (NASEM) to create a strategic plan for long-term research on low-dose radiation's health effects. The report, published in 2022, focuses on exposure and health effects, the scientific basis for protection, current research status, and a prioritized agenda. This summary reviews the report and assesses its recommendations, specifically examining their relevance to the fields of radiology and medicine. Why Does Medical Imaging Need This Research?Establishing a national multidisciplinary low-dose research program is essential to educate healthcare providers and the public about radiologic risks, fostering trust in the benefits of medical imaging
