A member asked:
When i was 15 had two cat scans of head in the same month that weren't needed am i gonna get brain cancer ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: CAT scans rarely cause brain cancer. Certainly 2 scans have no such deleterious effect. So you can relax and quit worrying about it. Only if you have multiple X-rays every year for most of your life, do we think about such a problem arising due to medical use of X-Rays!
