[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Also- remember that cancer patients, those with autoimmune issues like Crohns, those with head injuries, etc., are scanned frequently- sometimes yearly .[/quote] … which increases their cancer risk. [/quote] Still low. And people fly all the time. [/quote] +1. Humans are terrible about putting risk in perspective.[/quote] It’s not zero risk and imagining is often recommended when it’s not necessary. CT scans are known to increase cancer risks. [/quote] I think this is correct and what's tough is doctors don't really warn you about all this. They are so focused on the best tool to diagnose the specific ailment they treat, and not on the patient's well-being and whole life picture. So it's about weighing the risks/benefits to you, specifically.[/quote]
