Scan may expose patients to radiation

kabc
By ABC7
LOS ANGELES On average, going under the 64 slice CT scan exposes patients to the amount of radiation contained in 600 chest X-rays. The amount of radiation varied considerably, however. Some patients received exposure up to 1,200 chest X-rays.

Experts say overall the risks are still low, but doctors need to be aware of the high doses and take steps to minimize them.
