      Ct scan only increases your cancer chances by .0005% which is extremely low but you should ask for mri, ultrasound or X-ray instead of ct scans

    Safest approach is to eat healthily, avoid sugar, avoid stress, exercise, avoid alcohol, smoking, and avoid taking unnecessary risks. Once you become ill, there will be unpleasant consequences. This is the remedy for more or less all illnesses. Avoid the hospital as much as possible. If you imagine illness only affects others, you are probably wrong. The health statistics are dreadful and getting mostly worse.

      The cone beam is lower in radiation However, no thyroid protection is allowed because of imaging concerns Make sure the dentist is justified for using it I would avoid the cranial facial cbct and only allow the upper and lower jaw to be in the panaramic cbct scan

      I had a head CT scan when I was 18 in 2020 and I'm having another one tomorrow.
      You've had a singular head CT scan which because it's low radiation compared to most scans plus the brain is pretty immune to damage from CT gives you an Additional Cancer Risk of 0.024383% is equal to 1 in 4101 chance.
      Tihs means there is literally an 99.975617% you're completely fine.
      Plus it couldn't effect you that quick, cancer from radiation usually takes 5-10+ years until it start to develop.
      You're more likely to get cancer from stressing over it than you would from just the CT.
      Plus it was worth getting because if you had a brain bleed or extreme issues there would be a greater chance of you dying, you're fine bro.
      Just be as healthy as you can from this point onwards.

    There are some serious issues in the medical field regarding CT scans and X-rays.
    1. Doctors and radiologists don't inform their patients about the amount of mSv they recieve for a given CT scan or X-ray on a given body part.
    2. There is no law that a doctor or radiologist must inform the patient about the amount of images they plan to take before they begin. Ideally the patient should be shown a table over radiation strenght for each body part and then sign a paper "i accept that i will be given X amount of CT cans or X-rays of a radiation of total radiation approximately 6mSv and i have been informed by my doctor about the healt risks associated with that"
    3. The doctor might not have or look at a register showing the amount of CT scans or X-rays the patient has previously had. There should be red flashing flashing color on a doctors moniter if the accumulstive effect of CT scans adds up to a certain mSv value.
    4. 1 lumbar spinal X-ray = 15 chest X-rays = 1500 hand or foot x-rays. So it matters what part of your body gets radiation. a patient should be informed about that from the tables of radiation dosages
    5. If given injections during a CT scan a patient must see a complete list of all associated sideeffects, and a large scale statistic must be performed.
    There must be full transparency when it comes to potential consequences as information or lack thereof can harm a patient. Being nice and telling a patient not to worry does not always help a patient, and it's not honest. To make an educated choice a patient must be given educated information as lack thereof can cause the patient to say yes to later harm, so did the pstient make an error or did the lack of information make the error? The problem with radiation is that it's invisible, so if the patient gets cancer, low bloodcount, memory issues, collagen breakdown, later in life from to many spinal or full body scans (which have the highest radiation dose) does their future development of disease then become part of a statistic attributed to radiation so we get a clear image over the actual effects of radiation, and who could even accurately make and measure such a statistic?

      You shouldn’t worry too much a ct scan is about 2-10 msv, and 10 is the high end usually it’s around 2-3 msv, 10 msv only increases your chance of getting cancer by .0005%, which is extremely low, that’s like the changes of getting killed in a car accident, you should look more into autophagy as it is very potent at preventing cancers

    I wonder if I’m being a hypochondriac but I seriously am so mad at myself for being so stupid. I broke my pinky finger, the base of my proximal phalanx about a year and a half ago, and unfortunately it healed with a malunion, I should’ve just let it go, but I’m a guitar player and I was considering doing osteotomy for it. I went to several different surgeons and got probably maybe 7 to 8 different x-rays over the course of the year, I also got a CT scan recently on my hand as well, I have been reading a lot about how I can damage the DNA, I can’t really explain it, but before my hand felt stupid and now it feels retarded. I feel like my hand is so weak, I just tried playing the guitar and maybe it’s partly muscle memory but I feel like I basically nuked my hand and destroyed it. My hand CT was a high 4.18 mGy and 101 DLP. I also got a MRI to even though they said that’s non ionizing. But I’m sure there is still risk. Which is according to research about a year and a half background radiation. The problem is they don’t tell crap about that as you’re going into appointment. Wish they did. Cause I read it can damage your dna and it’s not like after a year and a half it’s back to good. It stays with you forever. This is the most covered up conspiracy of our generation. Withholding the risks of radiation ☢️ in our lives.

    • @owencampbell5660
      @owencampbell5660 ปีที่แล้ว

      I feel like I should reply to this comment as its clearly affecting your life negatively. Recently ive done tons of research into X-Rays and ionizing radiation to try and calculate the dose which would cause cancer or any other health risks. From what I ve learnt from French and American sources there is no risk and I assume what is happening to your hand is either something to do with the bone or a placebo effect. The US government allows medical personnel to be exposed to larger amounts of radiation than the general public and the total dose they can be exposed to is the equivalent of around 15000 chest scans in a year. It is also worth noting that the lungs are more vulnerable to X rays than bones and skin are. If the scans were solely of your hand and not your organs that risk is extremely minimal. That being said I hope you are now doing well and your hand is healed, the sensation you are experienced is certainly not due to the radiation.
