A member asked:

Can one chest ct scan cause skin cancer later in life? should i worry about radiation induced cancer from one ct scan?

CT and skin cancer: One ct will probably not cause skin cancer later in life. You should probably not worry about the radiation from just one ct in your lifetime. Don't forget that going out in the sun gives you exposure to radiation (and vitamin d as well!).
