Ct scan abdomen/chest w/o contrast --- march 2020 ct scan abdomen/chest w/contrast --- july 2020 ct scan abdomen/chest w/o contrast --- january 2021 hida scan --- may 2021 nuclear stress test --- scheduled june 2021 cumulative radiation problem?

The use as described of both CT scans over the interval described can exceed the cumulative recommended radiation dose. Consult a radiation oncologist to determine if specific surveillance is necessary. When appropriate, "plain films" are still very useful to avoid this cumulative effect of CT imaging, as far less radiation exposure results.
