A member asked:
I have osteonecrosis of the jaw (severe) i need a ct of the brain. will having a ct make my condition worse?

No: The ct will provide valuable information as to where the dead (often infected) bone is located. While ct scans do impart some radiation, a single scan is not enough to cause a problem.

NO.: no effect on the disease. Essential to know the extent of the disease. Make sure your case is being managed by an oral & maxillofacial surgeon.
