A new study from the Institute of Cancer Research in London reveals that CT scans may be responsible for more than 100,000 new cancer cases each year in the United States, including nearly 10,000 in children. While the risk per scan is low, the volume—93 million scans in 2023—raises public health concerns. Experts warn that certain patients may receive radiation doses up to 15 times higher than necessary. Medical professionals are urging for stricter regulations and tracking of radiation doses to minimize unnecessary scans, especially for healthy individuals.
