CT通过改进诊断大大提高了医疗水平，但其使用也带来了潜在的危害，包括辐射带来的癌症风险;检测到可能导致额外且通常不必要的诊断测试和治疗的偶然发现;以及意外的辐射过量。此外，当CT的使用不太可能改善患者健康或改变临床护理时，CT的使用过于频繁。
CT has substantially advanced medical care through improved diagnosis, but its use comes with potential harms, including cancer risk from radiation; detection of incidental findings that may lead to additional and often unnecessary diagnostic testing and treatment; and accidental radiation overdose. Moreover, CT is too often performed when its use is unlikely to enhance patient health or change clinical care.
