A member asked:
Is it ok to take chest x-ray and nasopharynx x-ray for a 4 year old? will there be any effect due to radiation?

The radiation exposure in todays' studies is a fraction of what they were decades ago. I wouldn't over think this. I order such studies when and if it allows for proper diagnosis and treatment.

The radiation from the studies you mentioned would not perceptible add to the risk for the child.
