💨 Abstract

A new study warns that the increasing use of CT scans in the US could lead to over 100,000 additional cancer cases annually, with around 5% of all new cancers potentially linked to CT exposure. The risk is particularly high for children and teenagers, as their bodies are still developing, and for adults undergoing abdomen and pelvis scans.
