CT Scan during pregnancy due to Covid
My wife who is currently into 5th month of her pregnancy has been tested positive of Covid. She has been currently under home qurrantine. She only has a dry cough, hence we want to get CT scan done in order to rule out any kind of chest infection due to Covid. So, please suggest whether there is any risk of doing CT scan.
