A member asked:

I had to get a ct bc of chest pain which was anxiety. i'm afraid the radiation will effect any future pregnancies or at risk for cancer? me or baby?

Ct. : Don't worry. The radiation exposure is low and your eggs should be pretty well protected. Millions of cts are done each year with a rash of lung cancers in those people. Eat healthy ad exercise. Don't smoke.

Not likely: One ct will not harm you or future baby. We are all exposed to radiation daily.
