Will your child get brain cancer from that unnecessary head CT Scan?

Research has showed that the amount of radiation exposure from an estimated 2 to 3 head CT scans given to a child can triple the risk of brain cancer, and an estimated 5 to 10 head scans can triple the risk of leukemia…so when do we scan a child with mild head injury not to give them cancer later?
