2 brain Ct scan causes cancer in future
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.
(ct scan machine is 128 slice). 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.

I dnt think having there is any significant risk of a person developing cancer by such a small and insignificant exposure to CT scan..although even if carries even a small percentage of risk..there is nothing which can be done as of now..so just relax..

Even if you have had 2 CT scans, it doesn’t directly implicate that you will/could suffer from cancer in the future. Focus on current health, develop healthy habits and attitude.
