[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For those of you comparing CT scans to typical sun exposure or even dental x-rays, please understand, the medical community is fully aware that there is substantial risk, particularly for those with repeated scans. https://www.npr.org/sections/shots-health-news/2025/04/16/g-s1-60488/ct-scan-cancer-risk-ionizing-radiation#:~:text=Their%20new%20research%2C%20based%20on,ve%20been%20exposed%20to%20already. [/quote] That struck me as pretty alarming because 200 dental x-rays is still many lifetimes' worth: "A brain scan, the website shows, can emit as little radiation as 200 dental X-rays or as much as 1,600."[/quote]
