A member asked:
I have done 4 ct scans last 2.5 years how dangerous it could be for me.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
You have 4 times: The risk of 1 ct scan. Extreme views of hazard are misplaced the risk goes from 1/10k to 4/10k. The issue is more of the need to get repeat imaging, if you need it, it is worth the risk. If you don't, its over use and expensive as well as a waste of resources.
