What are the hazards of taking an X-ray?

Patient's question:

X-ray for a baby of the same age. But many people say it will damage cells and interfere 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:

The term "taking pictures" refers to scanning and CT detection. These detailed examinations involve a certain amount of X-ray radiation hazard, but the radiation dose for a single imaging examination is still very small, and the duration is relatively short. Under normal circumstances, the radiation dose will not cause significant interference to the body's self-repair capabilities. However, unnecessary imaging examinations should be avoided. When a baby is feeling unwell, it is essential to go to a regular hospital and follow the doctor's advice, using appropriate and effective methods. Trust the doctor's diagnosis and do not make hasty decisions on your own, as this may lead to poor outcomes and worsen the condition.
