Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
CT scan is having highest percentage of radiation exposure.
She was unknowingly exposed to heavy radiation.
These radiation might have damaged her baby.
So better first get done fetal ultrasound and anomaly scan.
If both these are normal then no need to worry for fetal damage. But if baby is damaged by radiation then she have to go for abortion.
So better to consult gynecologist and discuss all these.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wishing good health to your friend. Thanks.
