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 issues? The child is so young? Then how long will the radiation stay in the body?Doctor's answer:
According to the situation you described 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 that causes minimal interference to the body. Additionally, taking X-rays is a matter of probability; there is a 1 in 10,000 chance that it may interfere with a person's genes, potentially causing drastic changes in cells. However, the probability is extremely, extremely, and extremely small. Only prolonged, high-dose exposure can lead to significant changes in the body. Taking one or two X-rays occasionally makes no difference.
