1 scan will not harm your baby, but frequent CT scans may cause some risk.

NikithaMom of a 10 yr 9 m old boy4 years agoA. hwllo.. CT scans use X-rays, which produce ionizing radiation. this kind of radiation may damage your DNA and lead to cancer. But the risk is still very small -- your chances of developing a fatal cancer because of a CT scan are about 1 in 2,000. but you may get scan of advised by your doctor
