Yes, I think CAT Scans are safe.  (I'm a Nurse)
You wouldn't want a million of them on the same body part....but their energy is pin pointed to the area the Docs want to view, and if you have concerns, you can ask the CT Tech to put a led covering over your abdomen and pelvic region.
I don't think there's anything to worry about.
So you had one earlier in the week in ER...but now the other Doc wants another? Did he not feel the images were good quality or does he want views of different regions/sinuses?
You should be just fine with another scan.
