Even HMO's Have Increased Radiation Exposures

Some folks may be surprised because because HMO's are not incentivized by fees, like for-profits are.  My intuition would have been that doctors largely ignore the risks because they don't manifest until much later, if they do at all.  Doctors want an accurate diagnosis for purely medical reasons as well as liability reasons, so the bias is towards using radiation rather than not.
