A member asked:
I had an abdominal/pelvic ct scan done, but it shows my chest and lungs. does that mean my chest also got radiation?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Often the lower part of the chest is also seen in the CT scan of the abdomen and pelvis. Yes, part of your chest was exposed to radiation in this procedure as well but there is nothing to concern.
