I am a 9 year survivor of Hodgkin's Lymphoma and was diagnosed in my late 20's. I received radiation to my chest and neck. I go in annually for mammograms, breast MRI's, and CT scans. Is there a lifetime max for CT scans? I want to manage the risks between radiation exposure and being proactive in looking for new cancers.

Thank you so much for your help!

The short answer is that while it makes sense to be judicious about scans, but there is no maximal lifetime level of CT scans.
