A member asked:
Can one chest ct with 4.8msv dose puts me at the high risk to getting lukemia?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not likely to happen: One ct scan will not harm you. It becomes an issue only after several cat scans. Just be aware that you don't need right now anyway multiple ct's. One must balance the benefit of the scan against any potential harm.
