Patient's question:
X-ray for a baby of this 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 issues? The child is so young? Then how long will the radiation stay in the body?Doctor's answer:
According to your described situation and the questions you want to consult, taking X-rays will leave no metabolites in the body, because 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 100 chance of interfering with human genes, which may cause dramatic changes in cells. However, the probability is extremely, extremely, and extremely small. Only prolonged, high-dose exposure can cause many changes in the body. Occasionally taking one or two X-rays makes no difference.
