From HealthImaging.com (6/6):
Children who received two to three CT scans of the head had a threefold
increased risk of developing brain cancer later in life, while five to
10 scans raised the risk of leukemia
threefold, U.K. researchers reported in The Lancet. However, they said
that the absolute risk of developing cancer is small and that the
immediate benefits of CT scans outweigh the long-term cancer risks.
