CAT Scans Cause Cancer

The American Medical News reports that as many as 2% of all cancers are caused by CAT scans, which expose patients to up to 50X as much radiation as other Xrays. We need to do these tests only if necessary. MRI’s might be safer for complicated studies, and thermography is a good substitute for screening mammograms, which are not high dose radiation but combine compression with radiation to increase the likelihood of damage.
