A member asked:

What cancers do 1 chest ct scan cause?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Non: The potential for a cat scan of the chest causing cancer is non. One would need frequent scans to even be associated with cancer. Obviously in a very young patient, the tissue is more sensitive to radiation and as such radiation to the chest from mammograms are of no consequence in the patient over 50, but in a patient under 30 radiation exposure does put the patient at risk.
