x-no-archive:yes

Doctor wants me to have another ct scan for recurrent fever. I have no
diagnoses yet. This will be the 4th one I have had in my lifetime.
(They were not whole body, just chest and one stomach).

I have been reading that the dose of radiation builds over time. Should
I think twice about having this?

You should think twice about having any test.
But the risks need to be balanced against the benefit. Only your physician
can advise you on that.
