What are the effects of a baby having a brain CT scan?

Patient's question:

No

Doctor's answer:

The main concern with CT scans is the impact of radiation on children. This impact is not significant. If a child's CT scan is normal, it's best to avoid doing it frequently in the future. The number of scans is not very high, so there's no major impact, but it's important not to do them too often—more than five times a year. Of course, if there's a problem, it's still necessary to perform the scan.
