Hello Sir. True that CT scan exposes you to radiation. But the chances of cancer solely from CT scan is very less.

As u have done 2 CT scans over 2 years some radiation exposure was present. It increased relatively increases risk than a person who didn't gone for ct scans. But it doesn't mean that persons who had 2 scans all will get cancer. It's a mild risk. Better dont get expose to any additional radiation.
