Well, I just went to my gastroentorologist yesterday & asked the same question. The response, "The is no safe radiation". Unfortunately, that's the guideline you'll probably receive from most medical practitioners because no studies have ever been done that found some kind of 'tipping' point.

What are the advantages of Positron emission tomography?
PET scans can see inside the brain

What is or What are the importance of CT Scan?
CT Scans are of importance because they provide us with a better picture of thicker tissue inside the human body. With them we're able to look at organs such as the brain, which is CT scanned very often.

There is no neuroimaging technique that can definitively show a difference between the brains of homosexuals and heterosexuals. Sexual orientation is complex and influenced by a combination of genetic, hormonal, and environmental factors. Brain scans may reveal variations in certain brain regions, but these differences are not specific to sexual orientation.
