Question
X-ray for babies at the age of the month. However, many say it will destroy cells and interfere with the perinatal period? What kind of things will be stored in the body as a result. The children are so small? And how long will the radiation stay in the body?
Answer
Radiation is harmful to the human body. The radiation dose for X-rays taken by babies at the age of the month is very low. Radiation protection principle: radiation freedom in action, optimal protection, and minimization of individual doses. Recommendation: The radiation dose range for X-rays tailored specifically to infants is very low, and the risk of harm to babies is not significant. Even with a small amount of radiation, it is necessary to save lives. After all, life comes first. For a one or two X-rays needed for treatment, there is no significant interference with the body, so there is no need to worry. After 12 hours, all of the radiation has dissipated.
