CT Scans During Pregnancy: Risks & Safety for Your Baby

There is no evidence that a cat (CT) scan can cause birth defects or harm to an unborn child.

However, it is essential to weigh the risks and benefits before undergoing any medical procedure during pregnancy, and pregnant women should always discuss any concerns with their doctor.
