Question: How many CT scans per year or in a lifetime is safe!?
Answers:
Not all CT's are the same (different strength etc like the above answer says), but I would avoid taking more than once a year!. I even avoid x rays!. CT's are like many x rays all at once!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
I'd like to know this too!. My mom has cancer and has had 4 so far this year!. To watch progression of the cancer they need to do the CT!. I guess a better question is how many will insurance cover!? CT waves are localized!. I imagine it would be worse to have many X-Rays on your mouth!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
That would really depend on how many rems each ct scan is delivering and to what body part!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
