ABSTRACT
Background: Pathology testing and diagnostic imaging together contribute 9% of healthcare's carbon footprint. Whilst the carbon footprint of pathology testing has been undertaken, to date, the carbon footprint of the four most common imaging modalities is unclear. Methods: We performed a prospective life cycle assessment at two Australian university-affiliated health services of five imaging modalities: chest X-ray (CXR), mobile chest X-ray (MCXR), computerised tomography (CT), magnetic resonanc

ABSTRACT
A general framework is developed using routine German diagnosis-related group (G-DRG) accounting data to estimate carbon footprints of hospital care pathways in the context of patients with acute decompensated heart failure (ADHF) admitted to the Red Cross Hospital Bremen in 2018. Financial activity data encompass G-DRG material costs from hospital accounting data submitted to the Institute for the Hospital Remuneration System. A set of seven greenhouse gases (GHGs) is included. Environmentally
