Hi what is the reason for the CT scan? Did some doctor prescribe it to you?
If you have a condition which needs monitoring once a year with a CT scan then the benefit is more than the risk.
But otherwise it's probably not worth it.
Would you like to connect to let me know the reason for the once a year CT so I can guide you correctly?

According to books and the amount of radiation a person is exposed to…. 5 x ray in a year and 1 CT in 3-4 years is considered safe.
Avoid any unnecessary exposure
