Default Thyroid

Hi, I am new to this forum, and looking for some answers.

My relative was recently diagnosed with a brain aneurysm, and has had and is required to have many CT angiograms of the head, using contrast.

However, she also has 3 large nodules in her thyroid. We are worried about the effect that the radiation from numerous CT angiograms of the aneurysm will have on her thyroid, for example, by making the nodules grow or become cancerous. After her last CT angiogram, she had quite a lot of throat pain.

Has anyone experienced any thyroid problems after having so many tests for their aneurysm?
