In some special cases, babies may need to undergo CT scans to determine their symptoms and ensure better treatment. However, many parents are concerned that CT scans may cause harm to their babies. So, what are the risks of CT scans for babies?
1. If a baby frequently undergoes CT scans, it can have a significant impact on their hematopoietic system, as radiation during CT scans can kill white blood cells in the child's body, leading to a significant decrease in their white blood cell count. Frequent CT scans can easily cause blood system tumors, and leukemia is one of them.
2. In addition to affecting a child's hematopoietic system, it also has a significant impact on their bone development. During childhood, their bone development is in a relatively active state, and they are more sensitive to radiation than others. This can easily lead to abnormal bone development in children.
The above is the relevant content about the harm caused by taking CT scans for babies. Some parents may be hesitant to let their children undergo relevant examinations when they see the harm. In fact, occasionally taking a CT scan for their children does not have a significant impact on them, because these harms are caused by frequent CT scans. Therefore, if necessary, parents still need to do CT scans for their children.
