2 brain Ct scan can cause of cancer
Hello sir, I am 18 years old, from Odisha. I had a head injury 10 years ago and had a brain CT scan done at that time. Two days ago, I had another CT scan done due to head pain, and the report is normal. I have had two brain CT scans in my life, one at the age of 8 and another at 18. I am worried that the radiation from the CT scans might cause cancer in the future. Please sir, reply and help me, I have been very anxious for the past 2 days.

CT scan radiations are low energy and are well within the normal acceptable limits.
Don’t worry about it.
