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 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: Modern radiation instruments are designed to tailor dose ranges for children, making it unlikely to cause harm to the baby. For the sake of healing, even a small amount of radiation is necessary, after all, life comes second. A single or two exposures for medical treatment are not too disruptive to the body, so there is no need to worry. After 12 hours, the radiation has completely faded.
