I have had 3 head ct scans in a month . i am worried about the radiation . can i die from having that many ct scans that close together . like radiation. poisoning or something is there side effects to haveing that many in row should i be worried?

There is actually very little radiation in the CT scans so, if you had them all in the same place, the radiologist would not have allowed the studies to be done if there was concern about the amount of radiation. Hope this helps! Good luck!

Modern CAT scans are very fast and use low levels of irradiation. There is NO profound risk of harm with multiple procedures. If you are troubled and worried about potential medical risks, it may be advisable to seek emotional counseling to calm your fears.
