Collection: X-ray Exposure

X-ray exposure involves passing ionizing radiation through the body to create images, with the amount varying by procedure (e.g., chest X-ray is low, CT scans are higher), but generally, single diagnostic X-rays use very low doses, often comparable to a few days , making the immediate risk negligible, though benefits usually outweigh risks, especially in children and pregnancy where extra care is taken. Risks, mostly long-term and probabilistic (like cancer), increase with cumulative exposure, so providers balance necessity against potential harm, using shielding and justifying each exam.

These are some suggested stones that may help with the condition as well as suggested service that we offer to look into.
