My Capstone - Source #10

Bhanap, MD, Bilwa, and Aleksandra Niedzwiecki, PhD. "Dr. Rath Health Foundation." How to Use Diagnostic Technologies Wisely and for the Benefit of Your Health. Dr. Rath Health Foundation, 2010. Web. 11 Apr. 2012. http://www4.dr-rath-foundation.org/NHC/articles/2011_02_02_how_to_use_diagnostic_technologies_wisely.html.
 
     This source is a good general overview of the risks and benefits of various diagnostic technologies, written for the benefit of the patient. It mostly focues on CT scans and other sources of radiation, which is understandably a big concern. The info is published by a nonprofit organization, so bias may be lurking.
