Yes: It is safe to have these tests, the time elapsed between them is not a consideration.

You should be fine: The info provided on the chart if you go to the link below should be very helpful. It will show you the radiation dose for many different radiology exams. http://www.radiologyinfo.org/en/safety/?pg=sfty_xray in general, the risk from the exams you mention is very low.
