I'm still alive after many medical imaging such as CT and PET scans.

Yes, it's a wonderful tool. However, Dr. Fazel believes that imaging tests - such as whole body CT scans - for screening healthy people might not be worthwhile in some cases. He just thinks it's something to watch.

Like I said earlier, in the past 9 years I've been through more than 2 dozen of these machines, radio-active dye and all...still feel fine!
