A member asked:
Is it possible for a single foot x-ray to cause radiation sickness?

No worries: A foot x-ray, or even several foot x-rays, is not associated with radiation sickness. No worries.

Of course not: No xrays expose patients to anywhere near enough radiation to cause radiation sickness. That includes studies with the most body exposure to radiation, like CT scans of the spin, contrast xrays, etc.
