Do you know why HRCT been advised? Will you be comfortable if you have that disease and it remains undiagnosed? If you don't mind suffering from that disease, whatever it may be, then you should ask the question which you have asked.

No, you don't need to worry about. Chronic exposure can be a problem. Yes, you should avoid exposing yourself unnecessarily to radiation but when deemed necessary investigations need to be done.
