Ct of lung is safe.
The healing of the wound on the finger will not be affected by it.
Check sugar status and control if high, so that wound heals completely.

It’s a relative question. It is safe when needed ;
But why do you need it;
Unless there are lung symptoms like difficulty in breathing , cough or so - you do not need a HRCT Chest.
Please do it only if your clinical condition demands it and if a Dr prescribed it.
This is not a Simple test like a master check up - should be done only when needed. Each CT is like taking 400 X-rays, it should be done only if needed
