Little higher: Slightly higher than the normal population. Follow up with your doctor routinely to prevent things before they happen.

Hard to say.: Evidence on this topic is largely based on survivor data of the wwii atomic bombs in japan. The problem is that a medical scan is not the same thing as being near an atomic blast; this would seem like common sense to me.
