A member asked:
Can 2 chest x rays raise the risk for leukemia or an other form of cancer?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No effect: The radiation from two chest X-rays in hospital and radiological facilities is trivial and will not increase your leukemia risk. This might not be true for the typical, untested radiology instruments in a chiropractors office.
