I am curious...how much radiation from cat scans is too much to where it can harm your body? I know everyone is different, but I just wanted a general scenario of what would be too much? I mean women have to get mamograms every year, then we might have to get cat scan (such as in my case) every now and then to keep a check on a kidney stone and a pineal cyst. I am in my 40's and now I am starting to worry about the exposure of this stuff. Can it cause cancer and if so, what is the likelyhood of that? I just want to be a little bit more educated on this. Thanks to everyone who can help me with this!:wave:
