Not to worry: The increase in risk due to these studies over your baseline risk is not quantifiable and not worth worrying about. Have a healthy diet, exercise 30 minutes/day, drink plenty of water, have safe sex, no tobacco alcohol weed or street drugs. For nutrition: http://www.choosemyplate.gov/. Wish you good health!

Negligible: Diagnostic imaging subjects you to a minimal amount of radiation, just enough to produce the image. Concerns occur when you are exposed to high radiation levels, like at a leaking nuclear power plant. There are risks with everything in life, but what you described does not appear to pose much risk.
