According to David Brenner, lead author of the study, the risks associated with just one scan are relatively modest, likely to increase your chances of dying from a radiation-caused cancer to about 0.08%.

"It's a smooth transition in the mid-air retrieval," says Brian Johnson, the payload master aboard the chopper...
