Effects of CT chest
Hello. I recently tested positive for covid and was asked to do a CT chest despite being asymptomatic. Another doctor recently told me that since I am a young fertile female I shouldn't have exposed my self to such high dose of radiation. I also had a CT scan of the brain done when I was child. Does this put my fertility at a risk..since I have already been exposed to the CT scan twice? Also, will it put me at a risk for any other diseases?
