A member asked:
Would it be possible that a person die from radiation to the hip?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Unlikely: Medical use of radiation is fairly safe. So we do not expect anone to die from it unless excessive radiotherapy doses are given with a faulty machine. But that should not happen under normal circumstances.
