Is there a risk to fertility or risk of future birth defect with ct scan of lower spine?

Minimal to both: A single study of this area is a minimal risk on both counts. They don't like to do studies if you are pregnant out of a sense of caution, & this creates some confusion on the matter.

Not likely: The amount of radiation exposure from a ct scan is not likely to effect your fertility.
