A member asked:
What are the risks of a chest ct scan?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
If you keep it limit: There are none as long as it is without contrast . With contrast there is always a small risk of an allergic reaction. As long as the number of these scans is limited then the risks from radiation from the x-rays is very limited.
