Patient's question:
I recorded a lung plain scan CT on November 27th. My partner had her period on November 26th. On December 20th, my wife found out she was pregnant, and it's possible she got pregnant around early December. Now she is worried that the CT radiation might affect the baby. I want to ask if this baby can still be kept. Thank you.Doctor's answer:
This World Expo has an impact. It has now been tested that female participation in this examination will not interfere. This is because it is an examination dose, not a therapeutic dose, and it is definitely not teratogenic. Currently, it is the male who is exposed. The outcome for pregnancy is all or nothing, meaning it may completely disrupt the embryo so that it cannot live, or it may result in early miscarriage. Alternatively, it may be completely unimpeded, but it is definitely not teratogenic.
