If the medical outcome from better planning due to having the higher resolution image increases your survival chances enough then it compensates for the radiation exposure.
Like say, the medical outcome of bleeding out internally vs being saved because the scan showed the doctors where the bleeding is.
Being a radiation free corpse doesn't sound great to me
