"I have heard that one CT-Scan is equal to 100 Chest X-Rays. Would I
take 100 Chest X-Rays? Why would I inflict that on already diseased
organs? However that is me."
Joe, good advice, but I wonder about your numbers. The
research I have done tells me that one abdominal CT scan contains the
equivalent of 800 chest x-rays, and from that I calculate that a full-
body CT scan could contain as much radiation as 2400 or more x-rays.
People who receive CT scans are NEVER told by their doctor or by the
facility administering the CT scans, how much radiation they are
getting. It's an insane situation.
