A member asked:
Is 4 ct of the brain bad in one year? i'm scared could this put me at risk for cancer

NO: You have to worry more why you are being monitored 4 times ct s done ( you did not explain why it is done ) than radiation from ct , which is very minimum and you will not get brain tumors from it ..

Read more about it: To learn more about imaging and radiation, see: http://www.Conciergeradiologist.Com/ct-scan-radiation.Html and http://www.Conciergeradiologist.Com/radiation-exposure.Html. Properly indicated imaging studies represent, by definition, situations where the risks of radiation exposure are outweighed by the benefits to the patient.
