A member asked:

I had 2 brain ct scans 2-3 years apart (1 for headaches 1for accident) and 1 sinus should i be concerned about developing cancer because of the scans?

Doubtful: Unless you have a strong family history it is unlikely the CT scan ALONE will cause cancer. I would see your doctor if symptoms persist to give you a more complete answer. Good luck.

No you should not: You should not be concerned about the risk of radiation exposure from these scans. Not at all.
