I have heard the radiation from a CT scan is the same as 700 chest X-Rays. No level of radiation was given. If this is true do you think the people that make the CT scanners want you to know this?

Is ct scan harmful to body?

Like all x-ray imaging technologies, in the CT scan, the patient receives a dose of radiation in the x-ray range of the spectrum. Compared to simple 2D x-ray images, one would call this a CT scan a high radiation technique. As with all such technologies, the exposure decreases as the technology improves and it is considerably lower now than a decade or two ago. While a single CT scan is not considered dangerous, it would not be considered wise to have a hundred of them. And, as with all radiation, the risk is not zero and it becomes a matter of opinion as to what is an acceptable level of risk.
