I'm with Pandora on the view that getting a CT and catching any cancer earlier is so much more sensible than worrying about excess radiation. Of course I have had 97 GY of radiation when the "maximum" is 77 so I discount the risks. For what its worth, all of the studies I have seen on CT radiation causing cancer conclude: [quote]Children, younger adults and women are especially susceptible. Two-thirds of the excess cancers will occur in women, the NCI researchers say. [/quote]
Since it appears that this group does not include you, quit worrying and get the CT's you deserve since the odds are with you. Just my opinion of course.
