CT is radiation. This is a case where too much testing is detrimental, not merely wasteful. You're sucking up 4 years worth of background for that CT angiogram. | ||

I agree, it’s not recommended to get CTs on a whim. I have high risk factors, a high calcium score, and a bad family history, so getting the data to guide our mitigation approach was worth it. |
