Occasional lung CTs are generally not very harmful, and frequent lung CTs can have some adverse effects.
Lung CT is important for the diagnosis of lung diseases, but there is a certain amount of radiation in the lung CT examination, and occasional lung CT examination generally does not produce adverse effects.
If lung CT examination is performed frequently, the amount of radiation to which the body is exposed may increase in a short period of time, and then the tissue cells of the body will be damaged or mutated due to the large amount of radiation, which will have some adverse effects on the body and may even induce cancerous changes.
When you undergo CT examination of the lungs, you should remove metal objects in advance, and do not wear clothing with metal accessories, and actively cooperate with the doctor to shorten the examination time, so that you can reduce the time of your body’s exposure to radiation and minimize the occurrence of adverse effects.
