Question about CT scans

by Crewchief67t, Jul 28, 2009 09:12PM
I have had 2 ct scans for different things in the past two months.  Coronary calcium screening and a ct of pelvis and abdomen.  I am 32 year old male.  My doc wants me to have a CT angiogram now.  Is this too much radiation exposure in too short of a period?  Read my other posts if you need more info.  It is a very long post so i really didnt want to retype it.

Thanks.

No I don't believe this is too much radiation, particulary if you consider the benefits you gain from these test. I had a the scans and the angio all within a week and no signs of over radiation.
