RE: Radiation level in CT scans

[Guest guest]

Hi,

Can you tell me what is the impact of taking CT scan, which affects human body

who's found with the cancer.

Warm Regards,

I just wanted everyone to be aware of the amount of radiation you are

getting in each CT scan you have. It varies from 100 to 250 times the

amount you would get in a chest x-ray. Very few Dr's and radiologists

are aware of this fact. I just thought you people might want to know.

I heard two Radiologists on a Talk Show admit that these scans an induce cancer

but, of course, they also claim the benefit to risk ratio favor their use. I

add, NOT TO THE PERSON GETTING CANCER FROM THEIR USE.
