A member asked:

I have had 3 ct scans this last year and a couple chest x rays and back xrays. does that increase chances of cancer? what should i do?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Do not worry: Medical use of x-rays(even ctscans..Done every 3-4 monthjs) is considered safe. So i would not worry about developing cancer right now yet they should be minimised when one can do without the ct scans(use x-rays or ultrasound or MRI instead.
