[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My dd has one scheduled for this week for breathing issues: ENT could not see anything well in her nose which was inflammed and recommended a CT scan to also look at sinuses. Now of course this am without looking for it at all I see an article about how dangerous CT scans are due to radiation levels, especially head ones, and how they can cause cancer. Would this worry you?[/quote] CT scan is the normal diagnostic tool for this. They're looking for deviations in the septum that may be causing restrictions (among other abnormalities).[/quote] But the long-term risks of such a diagnostic tool is not worth benefit. That's the whole point of the question and the thread. There is so much evidence against just doing it without weighing the options. I would ask for MRI, or even x-ray. [/quote]
