A member asked:
Will having 2 full body ct scans totally 55msv effect my future children? does all of that radiation damage my eggs?

No: If you were not pregnant at the time and total pelvic radiation was below 70 , there should be no concern about radiation effects to future childbearing.

No, Not likely: Medical use of X-Rays such as CT scans is considered safe. Most people will have 2 or more body CT scans in their life time without any harm. The dose of radiation received by your body is not sufficient to cause any harm to your Ovaries. So it should not affect your fertility.
