I googled just now to see if there was any follow up on this article today and didn't find anything except the injury attorneys have already jumped on it.

I did find a report done a few months ago by the Patient Safety Authority in Pennsylvania. There is a lot of info on radiation safety and risk reduction strategies. Looks like some great references at the end of the article.
