Sounds ok: As long as there is a good medical reason for a CT scan, it is fine to do. If repeated scans are planned, to follow some sort of serious illness, a patient can ask his doctor what other options there are, in order to decrease the total number of scans in her lifetime. There is a 0% chance of a typical person getting cancer from two typical CT scans, mathematically rounded of course. No worries.
