Hi what is the reason for the CT scan? Did some doctor prescribe it to you? If you have a condition which needs monitoring once a year with a CT scan then the benefit is more than the risk. But otherwise it's probably not worth it. Would you like to connect to let me know the reason for the once a year CT so I can guide you correctly?

Hello Ct should not be done unless necessary. Although radiation exposure is lesser.

According to books and the amount of radiation a person is exposed to…. 5 x ray in a year and 1 CT in 3-4 years is considered safe. Avoid any unnecessary exposure
