Ct scans today carry far lesser risk than what u must have learnt from tv news ... Plz don't be scared .. ct has to be done only in cases where we are planning to operate ... Otherwise if u have an mri and no surgery is planned then this is sufficient ...plz don't be scared to get a ct ... But only for the right reasons
