Hello:
Although there is research on how much radiation is received and/or the increased cancer rate from brain and abdominal CT scans, I can't seem to find any specifically on spinal CT scans and the cancer rate. Does anyone know of a link where I can read about this? I had a recent MRI, but the radiologist said he could not see my fusion from the MRI and that I would need a CT scan. (I have had all the hardware removed) Does anyone know, from their own personal experience, if a spinal surgeon can see fused discs on an MRI better than a radiologist? That is, has anyone seen a spinal surgeon and brought their MRI's and the spinal surgeon was able to use the MRI and you did not require a CT scan?
Thanks for sharing if you have had experience of this!
