There's a certain associated risk, but not very high.  The higest significant risk is for thyroid cancer and leukemia.  Also note that modern ultra-low dose CTs use very low radiation levels.Of course the exposure depends on the imaging protocol but typically 0.2 mSv (millisieverts)  to 0.6 mSv.  Note that environmental radiation in our daily lives, totals to about 2 millisieverts per year.Always better to avoid unnecessary X-rays & CTs.</blockquote>
