GE CT Scan, Modern Medicine, Medical Device Lawsuit

With the miracle of modern medicine, patients and their families expect an immediate diagnosis. Enter the GE CT scan. In a matter of seconds, a medical device can produce extremely detailed images of any part of your body particularly your brain.

That’s good news and bad news. The good news is—your doctors have an instant observation of the inner workings of your cells, blood vessels, and tissues. The bad news is —at what cost?

The GE CT scan delivers doses of ionizing radiation from 50 to 500 times more than a standard x-ray or mammogram.

This excessive radiation raises the risks for brain damage and cancer as well as numerous symptoms which negatively impact everyday living.

To make matters worse, the practice of scans and over radiation is so widespread, there’s no telling how many people are already affected, already suffering, already at risk for brain damage and cancer.

Who’s at fault?

• Is it GE the maker of the CT scan for manufacturing faulty medical devices?
• Is it the system for lack of measurable standards and patient safety priorities?
• Is it the hospitals or radiologists for human error or lack of training?
• Is it the Food & Drug Administration (FDA) for not acting on the severity of the problem in a timely manner?
