Is is true that you expose yourself to the same amount of radiation each day by using your microwave as you would in a cat scan that was very short. I had a quick one this week that I thought was unneeded after I went home. I’m regretting my decision for going now. I think it was more my anxiety telling me to go and now its my anxiety worrying that I may help contribute to cancer later.
Thanks!
*** I called and they said I was in there for about 17-20 seconds. That’s usually how long the scan would take. Does that sound long??
How does a medical Dr. really know too much is too much radiation! But they still need to do more test.

Ok so I’ve been sick alot of my life when I was 10, 15 and now again at 19. I’ve had 2 MRI’s (brain scans) and countless chest and ct scans, galleon scans and every other xray/scan known to man. My question is (as stupid as it may sound) will I suffer from radiation? This past tuesday I had a chest xray and ct scan both on the same day within an interval of 3 hours. Long term will this affect me? Overall I have probably had over 30+ xrays. I know it might come across weird and I personally don’t really think it could do anything to me but I was wondering if it will affect me later on in life? Also I went to the doctors on tuesday where she said I should get the xray and she also mentioned something about my many xrays and excessive(?) umm can’t think of the word to radiation? Sorry I couldnt think of the word (mind blank)
