Does CT scanning have an impact on newborns?

Patient's question:

Expert, the newborn who was born yesterday, the doctor recommended entering the incubator today. Before entering the incubator, a CT scan needs to be performed for a thorough examination. Does the CT scan have an impact on newborns? Thank you

Doctor's answer:

Although CT does have radiation, if the baby's condition requires it, we cannot be too concerned about the side effects. Additionally, you can discuss with your doctor how to switch to MRI, as MRI does not have radiation. If a CT scan is necessary for examination, it must be done because only through a thorough examination can we determine what disease the baby has. It is recommended to follow the advice of the attending physician. The above suggestions are for the question "Does CT have an impact on newborns?" and hope it helps you. Wishing you good health!
