How many times a year is it safe to get an angio ct scan?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
2-3x: CT angiograms are frequently performed to follow the response to treatment of a thoracic or abdominal lesion in order to define response to therapy. I usually have the patient obtain the scam everu 4 ,months to follow a hopefully beneficial response to the therapy. the dosage of RT under such circumstances is noncontributory to any adverse effects from the radiation.
