The Increased Risk of Cancer and CT Scans
Guiding Your Patients and Their Concerns for Increased Risk of Cancer and CT Scans
There is mounting evidence that radiation exposure, especially with certain CT scans or multiple CT scans, that an individual's cancer risk is raised. SWHP is providing you with a link to help your patients understand this issue and to track their exposure as indicated. This will help you be better informed about the approximate increase in risk for a particular patient and be an important risk management for you as well.

If you need further assistance please call the medical director's office at SWHP at 254-298-6134.
We have also given this link to our members so they may ask you to give them the number and type of studies they have had. You can enter their exposures using this free website, and as they need more studies, you can follow and see how fast their risk is increasing. This is something you may want to discuss with your patients, especially before new studies. We hope this is helpful to you and your patients.
