Just wondering if I were to have a ct scan of the chest what is the exposure to radiation and the likelihood of developing cancer from it?
Ive had 2 ct scans and 3 X-rays Im very concerned this will cause cancer scans were 4 years apart plus Ive had 5 mammograms very scared about radiation exposure ?
Is it unethical for a doc to order a CT scan but not inform patient of the amount of radiation exposure and slight increase risk of cancer with scan?
Read an article that stated research shows radiation exposure from CT scans leads to increased risk for certain cancers, incl. brain cancer. I had a CT scan of head as a baby in late 1970s. Should I be concerned? Mom died of GBM in 2007, so I worry.
30-year-old female - 1 head CT as an adolescent, 1 neck CT recently. So scared that the radiation from these 2 scans will cause cancer. Please advise?
