A member asked:
Id like to ask if i have had xray picture done and after like 40 mins i came back home, does radiation stayed with me? did i pass it to my baby when i was holding her?

Xays past through yo: Get an xray poses no risk of spreading radiation to others including your baby. With xrays, the radiation passes through you at the time that it is done, and not of it stays in you.
