Hello ,
Tingling in the feet is a neuropathic symptom .
It could be because of B12 deficiency, diabetes most commonly .
Radiation neuritis is unlikely.
Since your hba1c levels are normal .
Kindly get a vitamin b12 levels checked .
Also do tell me the reason why you had to undergo the radiological tests .
Regards
