Does CT examination have radiation?

CT examination uses X-rays, which are highly penetrating rays. Since the X-rays emitted by the machine penetrate the human body, could they cause significant harm to the body?

 
The harm from CT mainly comes from the ionizing radiation produced by X-rays, but in fact, many things in life involve radiation.
 
➣ The dose from a 20-hour flight is 0.1mSv.
➣ Smoking 20 cigarettes a day results in an annual dose of 0.5-2mSv.
➣ Passengers undergoing subway security checks may receive a dose of <0.01mSv per year.
➣ The natural background radiation dose that each person receives annually is about 2 mSv.
 

According to the national published 'Reference Levels for Adult Diagnosis in X-ray Computed Tomography', the radiation dose received during CT examinations of various parts of the body can be calculated.

Our country's radiation protection standards stipulate:
➣ The annual dose limit for radiation workers is 50mSv.
➣ The average radiation upper limit received over five years is 20mSv per year.

 

This means that as long as the total radiation dose received is controlled within a safe value, it is safe. Patients can consider examinations based on their condition while scientifically controlling the dose (not exceeding twice a year).

Advantages of CT examination

CT has a wide range of applications and has unparalleled advantages in examinations of the head, lungs, limbs, and other areas:
 

Jaw and neck:Tumors, fractures, inflammation, etc. in the jaw and neck area, such as lesions in the orbit, sinus cancer, nasopharyngeal cancer, middle ear mastoid lesions, thyroid diseases, neck masses, etc.;

Chest:Various tumors, tuberculosis, inflammation, bronchiectasis, lung abscess, atelectasis, pneumothorax, fractures, esophageal foreign bodies, and various anomalies in the lungs, pleura, and mediastinum;

Abdomen and pelvis:Mainly used for diagnosing diseases of the liver, gallbladder, pancreas, spleen, peritoneal cavity, retroperitoneal space, as well as urinary and reproductive system diseases. It is important for displaying the location and cause of intestinal obstruction, and for assessing the extent of invasion and distant metastasis in gastric cancer and colon cancer;

Skeletal system:Subtle fractures of the skull and spine, intervertebral disc diseases, spinal stenosis, bone tumors, bone tuberculosis, and inflammation, and it can provide three-dimensional imaging and multi-plane imaging of the lesion sites.
