A member asked:
32 female. had ct ab/pelvis in nov and ct pulmonary angiogram to rule out pe in late dec. scared of breast cancer/other cancer from radiation?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not to worry: The reasons for the radiologic studies were sound ones and not doing these studies would have had much more risk than the radiation exposure to the breast. It is highly unlikely that you would get breast cancer from the CT or angiography.
