Dear Helen. The last two Ct scans I had were low dose. I don’t know how your doctors diagnose you but may be low dose scans show less

Thanks Lilianna for this important information! I need to check with my doctor the ones I had is low dose or not. I heard only cancer screening is low dose.
A regular Chest CT is 7 mSv, about 70 X-ray, and a low dose CT is 1.5 7 mSv, about 15 X-rays.

But I do know it has no contrast, at least less damage to kidneys.

Did you ask for low dose Lilianna? Or it was automatically low dose?
