2 ncct brain radiation cause cancer
Hello sir, I am 18 years old. I had a head injury 10 years ago and had a brain CT scan done at that time. Two months 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 or brain tumor in the future. Please tell me how many chances for brain cancer or tumor in the future ?

Diagnostic NCCT has low radiation risk that has theoretically negligible effects on future risk of malignancy.
Professional exposure of long term radiation has theoretically risk of malignancy as side effect.
You should not be worried so much for Only 2 ncct exposure.
