I got a x ray on my neck . it was an old x ray machine and the chiropractor did not put a apron on me . i am scared i am going to get cancer because of the x ray?

One x-ray is ok.: Before performing any x-ray on a 28 year-old female, the question of whether you could be pregnant should have been asked. After that, an apron covering all areas except that being studies is the standard of care. The amount of radiation from a c-spine series varies depending on how many view were obtained and if repeat views were needed. You should not get cancer from that study.
