Patient's question:
X-ray for a baby of [age]. But many people say it damages cells and interferes with the perinatal period? It stays in the body and causes what kind of effects. The child is so young? Then how long does the radiation stay in the body?Doctor's answer:
According to your description of the situation and the questions you want to consult about, taking X-rays will leave no metabolites in the body, as it is just a form of irradiation and has minimal interference on the body. Additionally, taking X-rays is a matter of probability; there is a 1 in 10,000 chance of interfering with a person's genes, which could lead to drastic changes in cells. However, the probability is extremely, extremely, and extremely small. Only prolonged, high-dose exposure can cause many changes in the body. Taking one or two X-rays occasionally makes no difference.
