Just want to throw out that CAT scans are multiple X-rays and I'd check on the validity of the results to make sure the exposure is worth it to you.

One quick example that discusses pros and cons of the procedure:

There are others out there as well.

Better to check it all out before you go ahead with it and make an informed decision.

Best of luck and good health !
