It's possible because they are x-rays.
NoCT scans do not cause nerve damage.
Yes, there is a limit on the number of CT scans a person can safely undergo, primarily due to the cumulative exposure to ionizing radiation. While CT scans are valuable diagnostic tools, excessive radiation can increase the risk of developing cancer over time. Healthcare providers typically weigh the benefits of imaging against potential risks and recommend scans only when necessary. Regular monitoring of exposure and adherence to guidelines help mitigate risks.
The devil is in the details. CT scans can and do save lives. CT scans can and do cause cancer. The appropriate use of the CT scan is safe and effective in modern healthcare. The inappropriate use of CT scans is a major public health concern.
Radiation exposure from a CT scan is similar to, though higher than, that of a conventional x ray. Although this is a risk to pregnant women, the exposure to other adults is minimal and should produce no effects.
The radiation exposure can cause other cancers. The risk of this is very low so the vast majority of the time the potential good of doing the scan is greater than the increased risk of cancer, however, the risk is real so the scans should not be done without good reason.
The number of CT scans a person can have in six months varies based on medical necessity and the specific circumstances of their health. Generally, there is no strict limit, but healthcare providers consider the cumulative radiation exposure and potential risks. It's essential to follow a doctor's recommendations and discuss any concerns about the frequency of scans. Ultimately, the decision should prioritize patient safety and diagnostic needs.
No. Polydactyly is purely an autosomal dominant genetic disorder and cannot be caused by any environmental stress.
CT Scans - MRI Scans
CT scans with contrast, and CT scans without contrast.

Yes and no. PET scans can detect the deterioration of brain cells such as in Alzheimer's Disease, etc. PET scans can also show that the 2 chemicals in the brain are not balanced and therefore can cause a person to become depressed (many different forms of depression) but it is up to a psychiatrist to determine what type of depression the person has.
several ways - CAT scans, PET scans, ECG scans...check it up with ur doctor
