Shocking : CT Scans Cause Cancer?

Well a news published in australian daily is shocking and alarming. The daily reports that 400 cases of cancer were reported in last year and cancer were attributed to diagnostic radiology!!!!!!!!!!

The prevalence of CT scans has led the director of the Professional Services Review, Tony Webber, to take the unusual step of publishing an expert's call for doctors to reverse the trend towards use of CTs as a first-choice diagnostic tool for such conditions as lower-back pain.

''I have been alarmed at the number of these scans ordered without clinical justification,'' Dr Webber says in his Report to the Professions issued today.
