4 months ago I had two ct scans within 2 weeks. For about a month I had been losing hair Could the two be related.

I highly doubt it. The radiation from CT scans can be high, but it does not generally cause hair loss… even if you have 2 CT scans. Yes, there was the recent news item about patients experiencing hair loss after a poorly configured machine, but this is a rare case. You must have had a medical issue that prompted two CT scans. Severe physical and mental stress from medical conditions can cause hair loss as well (rare). I really cannot say what is causing your hair loss.
