A member asked:

I've had two cat scans of my head and i get my hair dyed black often i'm scared of cancer risk from these things ?

No significant risk: Moderation in every thing you do to your body is the key to a healthy lifestyle. There is no significant risk in occasional x-ray or use of skin/hair dyes as long as the dyes are properly labeled and you read the label carefully
