A. Although hrct does give exposure to the baby,they do use lead apron to avoid it. Chances of anomalies are less,still the ultrasound scan done from a fetal medicine specialist

A. CT risks during pregnancy. If the abdomen or pelvis is not being imaged, such as in chest or head CT, there is no risk to the baby from radiation.
