Is the harm of a baby's X-ray large?

Patient's question:

X-ray for a baby of your 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:

Radiation is harmful to the human body. The radiation dose for X-rays of infants is very low. Radiation defense principles: Radiation operational freedom, radiation defense optimization, personal dose reduction. Recommendation: Current radiation instruments are designed to tailor dose ranges for young children, making it unlikely to cause harm to babies. For the sake of healing, even a small amount of radiation is necessary, after all, life comes second. A one or two times exposure for medical treatment is not much of an interference to the body, so there is no need to worry. After 12 hours, the radiation has completely faded.
