In fact, if you want to accurately judge what the problem of the body is, it is the most intuitive to do the examination, and there are many examination items, among which the common CT examination is the most intuitive. However, some people say that the risk of cancer increases if you have one more CT scan, is there such a risk?
CT scan is one of the many examinations, so you should be highly cooperative and follow the doctor's guidance when you need to do this test. Some people do not dare to do CT scan after learning about the principle of CT examination, believing that the body will be exposed to radiation during the examination, and radiation will harm the body and induce cancer, so they refuse to do this examination.
However, as long as you are highly cooperative and the frequency of CT scans is appropriate, cancer will not be induced, and no one has caused cancer invasion because of frequent CT scans. Theoretically, the frequency of CT scans and the high exposure to radiation do increase the risk of cancer, but as long as you do the tests correctly, you don't have to worry about cancer coming to your door after CT scans.
How can I make my inspection safer?

Some people don't notice the problem, are confused, and are unprepared when doing the test, which may delay a lot of effort.
