No...: Radiation exposure related cancer is at least 10-20 years down the line and is minimal in risk. Just try to avoid unnecessary extra radiation (i.e. Ask your doctors about why you need a ct/xray when it's ordered). If it is medically necessary, my advise is to get the test and don't worry about the extra radiation exposure.

risk low: No monitoring is required for this degree of procedure related radiation.
