Sal,

That was so absolutely perfect.  It reminds one of the truth in the line about those who cannot remember the past.......
I guess some things never do change, though.

"Radiology has already passed through two epochs of its history since the  
discovery of the xray by Professor Roentgen. The first epoch of discovery and  
publication was one of unbound enthusiasm, during which wonderful tales were  
told of the new force and its possibilities.

The expectations of the public and profession was raised to the highest  
plane, only to be followed by the second epoch of disappointment and  condemnation.

The third, or present epoch, is one of the technical, scientific study, and  
a better appreciation of the limitations of an agent supposed at first to  
possess more remarkable qualities. There is also, with the fuller realizations  
of possibilities, an accomplishment of results which tends to restore 
confidence  and again bring the measure into universal favor. This is the epoch of  
realization and substantial recognition of this valuable and diagnostic and  
therapeutic agent. 

There are still many questions calling for a more careful study of the  
scientific application of the xray as a diagnostic means.

....The subject is a progressive one, and in the near future many  
improvements will be made"

William Benhan Snow, MD

Caesar.   Not just this one article.   There are  now about six articles.   
In addition there is an extensive review  on the internet.   Do a google search 
for Radiation Risks from CT  scans and be prepared for 8 hours of reading 
from all of your secondary  searches and surfing.
