Hi, my 4 1/2 month old boy had to have a CT scan to rule out a bony defect. They missed the first ct as the picture was blurry and redid right away by using 2.4 mSv radiation for a head CT (don t know how much was the first attempt). My question is, will this high dose radiation provoke a cancer like leukemia?
Hi. At this radiation level it is not a risk factor for leukemia. Do not worry about medical radio diagnostic exposure. Best regards - Chat Doctor.
