Ionizing Radiation Is Very Dangerous

and must be employed very, very carefully.

If it's not absolutely necessary, don't.

Anyone familiar with nuclear physics, engineering, or medicine knows that it only takes one ionizing radiation event to damage one single cell's DNA such that the cell becomes malignantly cancerous to start a life-threatening illness.

Any patient recommended for an x-ray or CT scan - especially with contrast - should ask "Is this test really necessary? Or can you draw logical conclusions using methods that don't expose me to ionizing radiation?"
