It is thought that any x-rays increase the risk of mutation in cells in x-ray path. But very small. It is thought that flying from NYC to LA gets you about as much radiation as one chest X-ray. Always advise to minimize exposure and discuss with radiologists who can tell you more about exposures from the machines they are using based on tests they are doing. x-ray should be considered small risk.
