cancer stats are based on computer modeling on survivers from hiroshima (this is the norm)... people in hiroshima were subjected to higher levels of radiation compared to the diagnostic range of radiation in CT scans... it's true, dose models are a linear non-threshold stochastic model which "measure" likelihood. which is why the creedo is ALARA, as low as reasonably achievable.

granted CT scans can have significant dosage... therefore, it is important to note that these are computer models predictions, there are no studies which show/point to cancers induced by CT scans... regardless, institutions should welcome the recommendations and manufacturers should continue inovating ideas to reduce dose.
