A member asked:
I had 2 ct scans within 10 days totaling 52 msv. one was an angiogram/abdo/pelvic. one was chest/abdo/pelvic. what are cancer odds.

Little if any: Excessive radiation has some risk to induce cancer many years down the road. But what you have had is called Medical use of X-rays which is considered safe. Unless you exceed 20+ CT cans, there should not be any such concern.
