Patient's question:
X-ray for a baby of [age]. But many people say it damages cells and interferes with the perinatal period? Will it stay in the body and cause what kind of effects? The child is so small? Then how long will the radiation stay in the body?Doctor's answer:
Dear Consultee,Babies of your age can also have X-ray scans if necessary. Occasional exposure to X-rays has minimal impact on the body, so there’s no need to be overly anxious—it will not cause any internal issues. This radiation is only present during the moment of the scan, not for an extended period, so there’s no concern about how long it takes to leave the body.
Wishing the patient a speedy recovery and a healthy body and a wonderful life.
