A member asked:
How many x-rays is it safe to have in a year?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Cant tell: We will order as much a clinically indicated. You will guide us, and we will suggest, and you will approve. Now, there are cases where you won't use contrast depending on your kidney function, or if you had an adverse effect to contrast. There is always radiation exposure, it is hard to quatify the risk.
