Yes, you can have CT scans while having an intrauterine device (IUD) in place. IUDs are generally made of materials that do not interfere with the imaging process, and they are safe during the scan. However, it's always a good idea to inform your healthcare provider about the presence of the IUD prior to the procedure.
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.
