Regarding CT Scan

2022-01-19 18:04:33
I have gone through 2 Ncct KUB in past 20 days but both times on the suggestion of urologist because of ureteric stones (small in size). What all risk does it pose on me in long run? Kindly note that I have gone through 2 more CT scan Ncct KUB in 2020 because of same kidney stones problem? Radiation in last scan was DLP Mgy CM - 406.5, is it too much?
