Hello, I had my period on October 3rd, and I had a full-body CT scan on the 17th.

Patient's question:

Hello, I had my period on October 3rd, and on the 17th, I had a full-body CT scan, spiral CT, and three-dimensional reconstruction. I had intercourse on the same day. On November 13th, I confirmed pregnancy. Can the baby be kept? Is there a high possibility of abnormalities?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, as you mentioned, CT scans are common examinations and involve radiation, but they are not as severe as you imagine. If they truly caused serious damage to brain cells or hair loss, they would have been phased out long ago. It's like someone getting their throat poked by a fishbone once and then never eating fish again. You're too anxious. Wishing you a happy day every day.
