“People should be aware that cumulative radiation risks do add up when they have numerous CT scans,” said Dr. Aaron.

Dr. Aaron said. “Patients getting a small number of CT scans, they really shouldn’t be very concerned at all.”

“Patients should discuss with their physician,” Amis said, suggesting they ask such questions as: “Do I really need this test? Have you considered the risk of radiation weighted against the benefit of the diagnostic acumen of the study?”

“People should not be lying awake at night wondering when they are going to get their cancer — after one or two or five or six CT scans — if they needed to have them done,” he said.

“On the other hand, if you have a chronic problem like passing kidney stones, and every time you show up at the emergency department every six months, they get another CT scan rather than doing a less-dangerous [test] that doesn’t use radiation, like ultrasound, you are being mis-served, and CT is being overused,” Amis said.
