How Does a CT Scan Work?

NIBIB's 60 Seconds of Science explains how CT scans work.

CT images are more detailed than conventional x-ray images. Image slices that CT scans produce can be 2 or 3 dimensional and can reveal abnormal structures or help the physician plan and monitor treatments.

How many CT scans are dangerous to health ? I read 3 or more CT scans are equivalent to same dosage as those who survived Hiroshima.
I already had 2 scans in half a year period.
I was reading cancer probability increases, just not sure how much
