  • NIBIB's 60 Seconds of Science explains how CT scans work.
    CT images are more detailed than conventional x-ray images. Image slices that CT scans produce can be 2 or 3 dimensional and can reveal abnormal structures or help the physician plan and monitor treatments.

      CT used Xrays to acquire the image and MRI uses electromagnetism to acquire the image. No radiation involved with MRI. CT can see bone better than MRI and MRI can see soft tissue in better detail than CT.

    How many CT scans are dangerous to health ? I read 3 or more CT scans are equivalent to same dosage as those who survived Hiroshima.
    I already had 2 scans in half a year period.
    I was reading cancer probability increases , just not sure how much

    • @togreaterforward7102
      @togreaterforward7102 Před 2 lety +5

      Don't worry, with the development of the CT technology, the dose of X-ray required for a CT scan has been so low that you don't have to worry about that. Humans are not that fragile.

    • @Theultrazombiekiller
      @Theultrazombiekiller Před 2 lety +13

      Having two scans does not pose much risk. Yes, they use ionizing radiation which damages DNA. That DNA is repaired or kills itself within a few hours of a scan. The radiation dosing of CT scans has gone down significantly over the last 10 years. A CT scan increases cancer risk very slightly. At most, by 1% or so. As for Hiroshima, maybe the same dose as those who were 20 miles away from the blast. A CT scan is like getting a sunburn on the inside of your body. 1 sunburn does increase you chance of skin cancer, but very minimally. Now if you have had like 15 of them in the same area, then that may be a deferent story.
      Edit: Any radiation does under 100 mSv is not shown to cause cancer. An average CT scan uses about 4 mSv. You are exposed to 3-4 mSv naturally every year just through background radiation. Even more if you live at higher altitudes.

    How does a CT scan work? 1. You go to the hospital for a stubbed toe or a knee injury or a belly ache. 2. The doctor, and other personnel, order a CT scan whether you need one or not, often being monitored by administrative personnel who will give them grief if their percentages aren't high enough. 3. You wait for a long time, for lab results such as kidney function and pregnancy tests, to come back, to see if it's safe to inject contrast media (so-called "dye") and to see if it's safe to scan you. 4. You get one or more CT scans no matter what the lab results are. 5. You and/or your insurance get billed for lots of money, some of which the hospital or facility may actually get.

      COVID-19, like alcohol, does not show up on CT. CT is imaging, not a chemical test. Doing a CT scan to detect COVID-19 is as silly as doing a CT scan to detect alcohol or drugs.

      Yes, they use ionizing radiation which damages DNA. That DNA is repaired or kills itself within a few hours of a scan. The radiation dosing of CT scans has gone down significantly over the last 10 years. A CT scan increases cancer risk very slightly. A single abdominal CT scan with modern equipment increases cancer risk by about 0.03%. A CT scan is like getting a sunburn on the inside of your body. 1 sunburn does increase you chance of skin cancer, but very minimally. Now if you have had like 15 of them in the same area, then that may be a deferent story.
      Any radiation dose under 100 mSv is not yet proven to cause cancer. An average CT scan uses about 4 mSv. You are exposed to 3-4 mSv naturally every year just through background radiation. Even more if you live at higher altitudes, like Denver is 8-9 mSv a year just by living there. The key is to minimize it, if you have 1 or 2 randomly throughout your life, there is no need to worry about that.
