A member asked:
Is it danger for infant under 1 years old to get x ray? how often it can be done?does it has a side effect?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: Generally no, there is minimal exposure to radiation during a routine x-ray. Side effects that can occur usually are after prolonged exposure to high levels of radiation. There is more exposure to radiation from taking overseas airplane trip than from one routine x-ray. Hope this helps.
