A member asked:
What are the risks of a xray test in a child of 2 years? is it safe?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Safe: a xray test is a safe procedure with a low exposure to radiation. More extensive procedures like ct scans have more exposure to radiation and the benefit to diagnosis are thought to outweigh the risks to radiation when a doctor orders the tests.
