A single chest CT can deliver a radiation dose to the breast — one of the most radiosensitive tissues in the body– roughly equivalent to 10 to 25 mammograms, or 100 to 400 chest X-rays.

The risk was highest in women who had five or more X-rays and in women exposed before age 20. [...] [...] Some abdominal CT scans expose people to 250 times the radiation of an ordinary X-ray.
