[ RadSafe ] CT incident - how could it happen?

[Ludwig E. Feinendegen]

Thanks for pointing out this article.  I have not heard of this incident.  Due to lack of further information I think it is impossible at present to attribute the skin rash to x-ray exposure. There are no dose values listed. And doses usually associated with CT are not known to cause a skin rash. 
All the best, 
Ludwig Feinendegen
