A member asked:
Is it dangerous to have too many x rays? my doc is sending me for a third time in 6 months.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes.: Too many x rays are indeed not good, but often they are necessary. Every x ray study should be considered carefully. Dose of radiation depends upon part of the body being radiated. Back, abdomen and hip xray carry the largest dose. Chest xray is a relatively small dose of radiation. Should ask your doc why?
