You can Check: Amount of radiation that comes from X rays for medical imaging is very small and generally safe. Different parts of the body would need different amount of radiation to have a good quality X Ray picture. The amount of radiation is not necessarily provided in the report You can definitely ask you health provider about it if you have any concerns about this matter.

An unknown number: It's most likely an unknown number, which means it's fine to ask but not to expect an answer. The amount of radiation coming out of the machine is not what the patient receives because some it goes over the patients shoulders, under the arms, and to other places; plus some of it is blocked by the shields. So, fine to ask, but there's probably no answer.
