Common Risks of CT Scans
Pregnant Women Only for pregnant women, usually
CT scans are not recommended unless there is an
emergency. If the CT is used only for chest or
head there is no risk for the baby. But, if you
undergo a CT scan for abdomen and pelvis, there
will be a mild risk for baby and a chance of
developing cancer on unborn baby.
Continuous exposure As a common rule in
radiology - the higher radiation, the greater
risk. If you are using CT scans for long-term
basis, there might be a chance of getting cancer
and other radiation related diseases. Also
childrens have chances of getting risks than
adults and very rarely their DNAs might get
damaged due to the x-ray radiations. Contrast
Material These days, a patient who is undergoing
a CT scan will be having a short medical test or
study of your previous health records to check
whether they have any medications for some other
health ailments. The contrast material, usually
iodine based can cause some allergic reaction to
patients only those have some other health issues
which will be pre-diagnosed through medical
tests. Otherwise, there will be minor reactions
such as nausea and vomiting.
