Fat to Fit

A new report warns that CT scans could trigger more than 100,000 new cancer diagnoses every year, sparking worries over how often they're used.

Experts from the US and UK crunched the numbers and figured that the 93 million scans done in 2023 might spark around 103,000 cancers down the line—making up about 5% of all cancers in the US.

The work shines a light on dangers from scan radiation, hitting kids and seniors hardest.

Belly and hip area scans top the list for these expected cancer spikes.

Sure, these scans are lifesavers for spotting big health threats, but the team urges docs to think twice before ordering them, particularly when the upside seems slim.

All in all, it's a push for smarter choices: cut back on extra radiation hits without skimping on key checkups.
