A member asked:
Does the head ct scan with and without contrast i got affect my ability to have children in future ?does it mean that i can't marry now ? im only 26yr

No Worries: The radiation from 1 head ct does not measurably increase your risk of cancer in the future. The radiation was no where near your testicles, and even if it was, there is no measurable risk for birth defects in children. Finally, the contrast was eliminated from your body within 24 hours, assuming no kidney problems.
