For example, low-dose chest CT scans performed for lung cancer screening use lower doses than multi-phase abdominal/pelvic CT scans that are required to stage a person with pancreatic cancer. UCSF ...

For example, low-dose chest CT scans performed for lung cancer screening use lower doses than multi-phase abdominal/pelvic CT scans that are required to stage a person with pancreatic cancer.

It’s also important to recognize that CT scans use ionizing radiation to create images, and ionizing radiation — especially if the scan uses a high dose of radiation or a patient gets repeated scans — ...

The most common cancers linked to CT radiation included lung cancer, colon cancer, leukaemia, and bladder cancer, with lung cancer making up the largest portion at around 22,400 cases. Notably, ...

A single scan is unlikely to cause harm, but repeated scans could increase your lifetime risk of radiation-induced cancer. Some studies suggest that up to 30% of scans may not even be medically ...
