Neuro said for me to never get another ct. hematologist said if i need one, to get one & was not concerned. why different thoughts? thank you

Not sure why: the neuro would tell you to never get another CT, it doesn't make clinical sense. It may be that MRI is more appropriate for whatever the neuro is seeing you for. However, CT is the imaging study of choice for a variety of indications.
