Medical - Medical (general)
English term or phrase: presents the potential
No creo que deba traducirse como "potencial". El contexto es el siguiente: "Cardiac catheterization procedures present the potential for significant x-ray exposure, which can result in acute radiation injury as well as increased risk for somatic and genetic effects, to both patients and laboratory staff due to the x-ray beam intensity and duration of the fluoroscopic imaging."

presentan/plantean la posibilidad
Explanation:
estoy de acuerdo con Michael en la palabra "posibilidad", pero discrepo con el verbo permitir, ya que se trata de un eventual problema que se plantea.

Suerte
