A member asked:
How much dose of radiation is there when ct scan of eyes and brain?

You should not worry about that one time radiation exposure after a CT scan of the head. Radiation dose is probably less than 2 mSv. Take care.

Modern CAT scans are very efficient, and provide minimal exposure to radiation. There is no real tendency for complications.
