At this week's RSNA meeting in Chicago, informatics and biotech firm RadTrac announced release of its new Radiation Dosage Tracking System (RDTS) designed to monitor patient radiation exposure.
Patient radiation levels are tracked and monitored through RadTrac's proprietary RDTS software engine. Once cumulative dose reaches an unsafe level, the system alerts healthcare providers to enable review of diagnostic options prior to exposing the patient to more radiation.
RadTrac is a joint venture of Binovia, an informatics and biomedical services firm, and Study Overflow Solutions, a teleradiology and practice management firm.

![Axial images from unenhanced calcium score cardiac CT (left) and curved planar reformation images from CT angiography (right) show that higher long-term exposure to air pollution is associated with greater coronary artery calcium and more obstructive coronary artery disease (CAD). Top row: Images in a 68-year-old male patient with higher 10-year mean ambient air pollution exposure (7.9 μg/m3 for particulate matter measuring ≤2.5 μm in diameter [PM2.5] and 17.4 parts per billion [ppb] for NO2) with extensive CAD (coronary artery calcium score [CACS] >1,000 and obstructive CAD [≥70% diameter stenosis]). Bottom row: Images in a 57-year-old female patient with lower 10-year mean ambient air pollution exposure (6.3 μg/m3 for PM2.5 and 4.6 ppb for NO2) with no CAD (CACS = 0 and no obstructive stenosis).](https://img.auntminnie.com/mindful/smg/workspaces/default/uploads/2026/06/hanneman.r6SMLzkezo.png?auto=format%2Ccompress&dpr=2&fit=crop&h=167&q=70&w=250)
