A member asked:

Is it ok to have an x-ray 2x a week?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Probably fine...: We always like to minimize any radiation. However, if there is an underlying medical need i wouldn't think twice about it. Most x-rays expose you to relatively lower doses than ct scans and many nuclear medicine studies. A couple of x-rays in a week for a period will not harm you.

Dr Ali and another doctor agreed
