Does PET/CT affect health

Female  30 years old 2018-06-09
I had a PET/CT once, and that time was because my lungs were uncomfortable and I coughed frequently. I heard that this examination is very radiant, is it harmful to health?

    If you do PET/CT, you can screen for the risk of cancer early, which is very important for the treatment of tumors, because different tumor stages have different treatment plans for tumors. In foreign countries, PET is regarded as the best means of health examination, and regular PET/CT health examinations have found many cases of early cancer patients. Because PET/CT uses a low-dose mode and high-quality image method, it is safe and harmless to the human body, so it is suitable as a method for health examination.
