CT angiography
Respected sir
I will be undergoing CT angiography procedure day after tomorrow.
I have heard that because of radiation there will be chances of development of Cancer.
I am very much anxious about it.
In past i never undergone CT procedure.
Please guide me wheather its right that CT radiation will develop cancer to me
Thank you sir
The radiation that you get from an angiogram , is so small less than 10 mSv , which is way below any sort of danger levels.
Also the effect , of radiation on body is so minimal from an angiogram , than the benefit that you get by doing a test like that .
So absolutely nothing to worry about , also this is a one off procedure , and you won’t be doing it frequently .
