Radiation risk for those procedures in a span of 3 months are considered negligible to their potential benefits so you have nothing to worry about. Take care.

Read an article that stated research shows radiation exposure from CT scans leads to increased risk for certain cancers, incl. brain cancer. I had a CT scan of head as a baby in late 1970s. Should I be concerned? Mom died of GBM in 2007, so I worry.
