While PET CT scans are generally safe, there are some risks to consider: 1. Radiation Exposure: Both PET and CT involve exposure to radiation, which could pose a risk, particularly with repeated scans. 2. Allergic Reactions: Some patients may experience allergic reactions to the contrast dye used in the CT component. 3. Pregnancy: PET CT scans are generally not recommended for pregnant women due to the potential risks to the fetus.
