HRCT thorax

2023-12-12 08:49:07
I got one hrct scan done during covid 2.5 years ago and I had to get one more hrct due to persistent severe chest pain 3 months post covid but nothing was found but the pain started aggravating and it persisted even after 2 years so I had to get 3rd HRCT thorax recently. This time it found an accessory muscle in chest. I want to know if the exposure to radiation affects the breast tissue and if it has increased the breast cancer risk ?
