Yes, absolutely. I had a CT myself many years ago. I also had serious injury 3 years ago and my primary care offered a CT but warned me that I should think it over since it will expose me to high dose of radiation. I decided to decline CT.

I am just saying that I can not believe what was sated in that Stanford study which Jeff posted : / . If single CT scan can increase a chance of cancer than having 41 EBRT or whatever can not be so harmless - I mean, com'onnnn ???? @@ When one has to do it, one has to do it - it can be obviously lifesaving, but I do not believe it has such a low incidence of complications, that is all .

About 8 years ago, or so, I accompanied my friend to Stanford for some radiology consultations regarding some type of lymphoma she had, I forgot the name ( one that is not lethal) and RO told her that she should not hurry with it since radiation can cause secondary cancers. But at least he was honest.

I think that North's doctor was correct with his information.
