> Did the study control for this?

No, because that's not how the study worked, i.e. it wasn't actually tallying cancer rates from people who had CTs. It basically just looked at the amount of radiation that a CT scan gives a person, and then extrapolated the cancer that would be expected from that radiation dose based on other data we have of e.g. people exposed to radiation in their jobs, and nuclear fallout occurrences.
