QUERY REGARDING DISEASE DUE TO CT SCAN
I have had 3 CT scans so far. One in 2009 of head. One is Jan 2018 of abdomen and other in May 2018 of Neck, Chest and abdomen with contrast.
I have heard that neck is very sensitive to X-rays emitted by CT-Scan.
I also had 5 chest x-rays in 2019 and one chest X-ray, one spine xray in 2020. And one chest X ray in 2021.
Am I at high risk of developing any disease due to these X ray and CT scans.

I don’t think so. The risk of developing cancer is very low. Also the scans have been done with sufficient time gap
