No point in discussing now once u have under gone with the test
Also it was done to detect the lung involvent as it is considered very sensitive in covid so trust ur doctor and don't think much about side-effect

You have already undergone a CT scan , so don’t worry about the hazards now.. One CT won’t harm, so relax.
