Computerized tomography risks

  • Risks of CT scans include:

    Being exposed to radiation.Allergic reaction to contrast dye.Kidney damage from the contrast dye.
  • Are There Any Risks? CT scans use X-rays, which produce ionizing radiation.
    Research shows that this kind of radiation may damage your DNA and lead to cancer.
    But the risk is still very small -- your chances of developing a fatal cancer because of a CT scan are about 1 in 2,000.Mar 21, 2023
  • Drawbacks or disadvantages of Computed Tomography
    u27a.
    1. It is expensive for routine clinical use
    2. . u27a.
    3. The patient is exposed to higher radiation
    4. . u27a.
    5. It requires expensive equipment and hence it is not always accessible at all levels of people
    6. . u27a.
    7. There is risk of ionizing radiation amd iodinated contrast agents
  • Risks.
    As in many aspects of medicine, there are risks associated with the use of X-ray imaging, which uses ionizing radiation to generate images of the body.
    Ionizing radiation is a form of radiation that has enough energy to potentially cause damage to DNA.
Are There Any Risks? CT scans use X-rays, which produce ionizing radiation. Research shows that this kind of radiation may damage your DNA and lead to cancer. But the risk is still very small -- your chances of developing a fatal cancer because of a CT scan are about 1 in 2,000.
