Patient's question:

What should I do if the child is born with mental retardation after a chest X-ray?

Doctor's answer:

??????Hello, if exposed to high-dose X-rays, it can cause congenital deformities in the baby, such as microcephaly, low intelligence, developmental delay, leukemia, etc. In severe cases, it may lead to miscarriage or stillbirth. Generally, during a chest X-ray, if you simply look without receiving a large amount of radiation, there is no problem. In the future, pay attention to this issue and undergo regular prenatal check-ups. There is no need to worry. If there is indeed such a situation, it is still necessary to get checked. If it is confirmed, patience and guidance are required.
