A member asked:
If ive had 2 ct scans within 4 years, is that really harmful to my health?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
CT scan ?'s: Two CT scans "within four years" is not dangerous, but repeated CT's can cause radiation excess. CT scans are not always necessary, and what are called "plain films" (simple x-rays) can usually provide information suitable for most injury type questions.
