Question
Infants are undergoing X-ray imaging. But many people say it can damage cells and interfere with the perinatal period? It might cause what kind of substances to accumulate in the body. With such young children, and how long will the radiation remain in the body after exposure?
Answer
Based on your description and the questions you wish to consult, having an X-ray does not leave any metabolic substances in the body, as it is merely a shine with minimal disturbance. Additionally, having an X-ray is just a matter of probability; there might be a 1% chance it could interfere with a person’s genes, leading to cell mutation. However, the probability is extremely small. Only prolonged and high-dose exposure would lead to significant changes in the body, and having a few shots here and there makes no difference.
