How long after CT can you try to get pregnant?

Patient's question:

I had a chest X-ray in July and recently had a CT scan of the lumbar-sacral spine. How long should I wait before considering pregnancy without affecting the fetus?
Thank you

Doctor's answer:

Hello, from the perspective of eugenics, there is a certain impact. It is recommended to keep the baby and undergo regular prenatal examinations. If any abnormalities are found in the baby, terminate the pregnancy in a timely manner. This situation requires strict prenatal care. At weeks 14-19 of pregnancy, undergo the triple screen, and at weeks 22-26, have a 4D ultrasound for prenatal anomaly screening. If necessary, at weeks 16-20, have an amniocentesis and cord blood analysis to clearly determine the baby's development inside the uterus. Maintain comprehensive nutrition, engage in appropriate exercise, and keep a cheerful mood. Wishing you a healthy baby.
