@playful.scientifi: Think twice before your next medical scan. Dr. Peter Attia shares a critical question everyone should be asking before undergoing a CT scan or imaging study: How much radiation am I receiving? According to Dr. Attia, if a medical professional cannot tell you the specific dosage in millisieverts, it’s worth waiting until they can. With yearly safety limits in place, getting a high-dose scan in a single day requires a very good medical reason. Don't be afraid to advocate for your own health—understanding the risks is just as important as the diagnostic result. #Primary Tag #CTScan #Secondary Tag #MedicalAdvice #RadiationSafety #HealthTips #DrPeterAttia #PatientAdvocacy #KnowYourHealth

A cell phone is more radiation that an xray. Hint: those glued to it 24/7. 🤦‍♀️

As a CT tech, the scanners auto adjust for your body mass, so it is literally impossible to tell you an accurate number until AFTER your scan

As a ct tech I hope everyone asks me. And then they refuse to get scanned 🤞🏼. Dose is based on a lot of different factors. And we wouldn’t know until after they’re scanned. You’re a genius! Pass this on to EVERYONE

Dude when you have cancer that you’re fighting every day and they tell me I have to get another CT scan guess what? I’m getting a goddamn CT scan. I’m not worried about the damn radiation. I’m worried about survival

As a radiation therapist and a former CT tech I can tell you nobody in general population knows what mSv even means. It’s like telling someone you will be exposed to 17 carrots. 🤷‍♀️A better advise is to ask if CT scan is a must? Is there maybe a possibility we could achieve the same result with lesser exposure X-rays first. Unfortunately doctors tend to abuse CT as a diagnosis tool.

Then don’t get on an airplane without asking how much radiation you’re getting. Hi 👋 Radiology here, you get radiation from eating a freaking banana dude. Lol don’t get a CT scan is the worst advice.

Don't stand in direct sunlight if you're that terrified of radiation, because you're getting radiated by the sun every second of the day.

Sir, do you think we have dosimeters laying around to calculate how much radiation you’re getting on your chest X-ray???? No, we don’t! A CT scan does give the dose but it’s dependent on many factors. Everyone’s dose is different. Please stop fear mongering.

Absolutely Not! You don’t know the dose until after the scan. Also if we give you a number, you won’t even know what it means. Also…WE DO NOT HAVE TIME FOR THIS. You come for a CT with this nonsense 🙄 bye. I’m moving on. Talk to your doctor about it.

Totally, don’t get the CT scan that may save your life, no no, worry about the perfectly safe CT scan that isn’t harming you.

yeah that's a stupid thing to say because CT scans are not done just on a whim okay there's usually a tumor they're looking at or something very important that you have no choice but to have it done... so you should retract that statement
