How high is the risk of cancer from CT scans?

Asked by Reggz (149points) May 18th, 2012

I’ve had numerous CT scans in my 20 years of life. In fact, I’ve had 3 in 2012 alone. They have proved to be very beneficial in finding and treating my various health problems. But since I am a cancer survivor (which alone increases my risk of future cancers), I am afraid of the amount of radiation I’m being exposed to. So I am just wondering how high the risk of cancer actually is.
