ghworker2010 Posted January 17, 2019 Share Posted January 17, 2019 In the past I've had to get regular chest X-rays as part of the yearly WP process in Thailand. Soon Im going for a routine package check up and on the list is a chest X-ray. Does anyone know if this radiation is harmful to the body? thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jdietz Posted January 17, 2019 Share Posted January 17, 2019 No radiation is safe. It is a lottery with large numbers and small prices. That said you are always exposed to background radiation, and chest x-rays don't really add that much. Buy more tickets, get more chances...

balo Posted January 17, 2019 Share Posted January 17, 2019 (edited) Radiation could be harmful if you are exposed to it over time. I had 10 days of radiation to cure my testis cancer, and it always is on my mind if it could affect me later in life, but hopefully not. A chest X-ray is a walk in the park compared to what I went through. Edited January 17, 2019 by balo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
