A recent study suggests that CT scans might contribute to over 100,000 annual cancer cases.

Widely regarded as an essential diagnostic tool, CT scans may pose a greater cancer risk than previously thought, according to new research.

A team from the US and UK estimated that the roughly 93 million CT scans conducted in 2023 could lead to approximately 103,000 future cancer cases, accounting for roughly five percent of all US cancers.

The study, featured in JAMA Internal Medicine, highlighted the risks of radiation exposure from these scans, with children and older adults being particularly susceptible.

The results call for doctors and patients to reassess the frequency of CT scan use, especially in cases where benefits are minimal.

Scans of the abdomen and pelvis were identified as the most concerning, associated with the highest cancer projections.

While CT scans remain vital for diagnosing serious conditions, experts advocate for more selective use to reduce unnecessary radiation exposure and prevent avoidable health risks.
