[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have had 3. My son has had two. Sometimes you have to assume risks to get the necessary information. Nothing is risk free.[/quote] You really don't. Not unless you are treating cancer. You won't know or feel the consequences until a few years out. The fact is, a large percentage of cancers are caused, directly, from CT scans in prior years. Please stop having your son get the unless it's for a very very serious reason. OP: I realize this thread is days old, but you are right to question. Doctors get commissions for use of machines or are lazy. MRI would be the best logical next step. My FIL has sinus cancer and has yet to get a CT--they do MRI. So close to the brain, CT scans of the head should be avoided at all costs.[/quote]
