A member asked:
I had an abdominal ct scan today as requested by gp and had a ct for wisdom teeth friday requested by maxi. is added risk as the timing was close?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: What is important is cumulative dose, not timing. MRI produces no radiation. Dental Cone Beam Cat Scan is very low dose. Discuss this with your providers for more information.
