HealthBoards - View Single Post - Too many CT scans

Over the last 3 years, I've had 2 CT scans, 2 MRIs, 2 bone density tests, 1 complete bone scan, and over the last 30 years dozens and dozens of x-rays. I also worked in a field that exposed me to x-rays on a regular basis. I have had no ill effects from any of this exposure as of yet. I hope you won't either.

Of course, we all need to be careful not to be exposed to any more radiation than absolutely necessary, but we can be exposed to more than most people realize without any problem.
