A member asked:
Is a ct-scan of the chest, abdomen, and pelvis all in one scan at the same time more radiation than a single chest-ct? i was told that it was not.

There is more: There is more radiation from a CT depending on how many areas are scanned. It’s possible the Dr misunderstood and meant an XRay of the chest abdomen and pelvis is less radiation than a single CT of chest, which would be a true statement!
