I recently had a brain aneurysm treated, the first treatment included stents and coils and had around 2140 mgy of radiation. Recently, about 6 months later I had an angiogram and they saw coil compaction and added more coils, with the second treatment having around 2100 mgy. My question is, from these did I increase my cancer risk significantly?
Hello. I am 36 years old now and have had undiagnosed illness for years. I have had a few CT scans, 3 nuclear stress tests, a few x-rays, ultrasounds, MRIs, and a combined CT abdomen/pelvis/chest (300 mGycm). I’m worried about radiation exposure. Does this sound a lot to you and can you please break the exposure levels down to me in layman’s terms?
