an X-ray of your chest, teeth, arms or feet is the equivalent of a few days' worth of background radiation and has a less than 1 in 1,000,000 chance of causing cancer.

What can be found on the internet space may not be the entire truth.

 

There is probably heavier weighting should the advise come from professional with relevant experience

I'm not expert. But milli-sieverts/grays per chest xray is very little. One full CT scan of abdomen/chest is = 300 chest xray in terms of radiation dose.

LALA is correct. A simple X-ray is harmless and the technology nowadays is not that ionizing as before.

 

However, if you do sth like 3-4 CT scans a yr, then your threshold may be breached. Then again, you have to outweigh the risks vs the benefits. Cos if you think you scan less, you get irradiated less, you run the risk of not detecting a potential tumor growth early and that can make or break your long term survival.

 

At the end of the day, Drs dun recommend CT scans and the 'higher dose' examinations unless totally justified.

 

you going for mammography right? That, well, still not that much too lah. Then again, weigh the benefits of detecting your boob cancer vs the risk of cancer by going for the examination....
