Radiation may cause mutations, that is, changes in the reproductive cells that transmit inherited characteristics from one generation to the next. Practically all radiation-induced mutations are harmful, and the deleterious effects persist in successive generations.

Computed Tomography
A CT image is a pixel-by-pixel map of X-ray beam attenuation(essentially density) in Hounsfield Units (HU)
HUwater = 0
Bright = “hyperattenuating” or “hyperdense”
Computed TomographyTypical HU Values:
Air –1000Fat –100 to –40Water 0Watery fluid (e.g. CSF) 0–20White matter 20–35Gray matter 30–40Blood clot 55–75Calcification >150Bone 1000Metallic foreign body >1000

The more detectors a CT scanner detector has, the more slices per rotation it is able to acquire. The number of slices per rotation is equal to the number of detectors.
