Risk for cancer after 2 ct scans in a month? 1 abd/pelvis + 1 ct lung angiogram to rule out pe. 32 female. scared!

Low risk overall: It is commonly thought that the extra risk of any one person developing a fatal cancer from a typical CT procedure is about 1 in 2,000. In contrast, the lifetime risk of dying from cancer in the U.S. population is about 1 in 5. However, the lifetime risk of cancer from a single CT scan was small—about one case of cancer for every 10,000 CTS m.cancer.gov/topics/factsheets/CT Mobile-friendly -
