A member asked:
Is it safe to have a chest xray twice in a month?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
This is ok since the amount of radiation in a chest x-ray is not very much. You will have a lead apron placed on your pelvic region to lessen the radiation to this area. As long as you don’t need a chest x-ray every month, getting 2 in one month is ok with the protection described. Good luck!
