Hello Good question!! Lots to talk about, but...
Answer: try to avoid a single (or multiple) CT scans as much as possible. A single CT increases the risk for you to get cancer in the future years (or might not/not always, it depends on how much of your body has been exposed, or if the machine is properly calibrated to deliver the lowest does of radiation possible, risk also increased with age, young/ under 18 yrs higher risk) cause cancer...but A CT sometimes is quite necessary depending on your condition. Talk to your doctor or a radiologist directly. IS there a CT really necessary (or a 2nd CT)? Is there other imagine modality like ultrasound or MRI that could give us the same (or better) answer. Be careful!! Some private institutions need to pay the lease or the purchase on that machine so they need tons of CT scans to pay the debt off... Always talk to your doctor, ask questions: can the CT be avoided/ or delay (to avoid rapid accumulative radiation dose to your body) if a second CT is necessary for rechecks...
I hope this helps...
cheers!
