A member asked:

Is there a tool that a dr. can use to check the level of patients radiation exposure from all the x-rays and ct scans in ones life?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

No: The list of Possible Things To Worry About from cradle to grave is infinitely long. The radiation exposure from medical testing is low on that list, unless one has a bad medical disorder and is getting repeated scans over and over.
