A member asked:
What is the amount of radiation of one film chest x ray pa and one digital chest x ray pa in msv?, is radiation dose 0.02 msv in film or a digital?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Nothing to worry abo: Radiation doses delivered/received during check X-rays are so tiny that you do not need to worry about any harm. Unless you exceed 30-40 mSv (which only happens with the use of multiple CT scans done) there is no worry about cancer causation from diagnostic radiation.
