CT Scans

CT scans have low dose of radiation which are considered safe. We should be more concerned of the help CT scans give us by way of diagnosing a disease. Without a CT scan, we really don't know if we have tumors in our internal organs. It's good to have a whole abdominal scan at least once a year to know the condition of our organs like the liver, kidneys, colon, etc. Prevention and early detection of a disease give us a healthy life.

It's way more dangerous to go through the airport security scan than it is a CT scan, so I wouldn't worry. I've had several CT scans. After watching Dr. Oz I've decided if I ever fly, I'm getting a pat down, I'm not going through the scan. I don't really want to be patted down by someone, but he says the radiation from the scans can potentially be harmful down the toad.
