Is it safe to have an Xray during pregnancy
September 12, 2008
It is a fact that the women generally become more caring during pregnancy. They are more worried about their child and his/her well being. There are many tests which are performed during pregnancy. Women get more worried about the pregnancy x-ray tests that these tests are safe or not. The common question which comes in the mind of almost all the women is that “Is it safe to have an x-ray during pregnancy?” It is so because this test is the most common test during pregnancy.
It depends on the radiations which are used in the x-ray test. It also depends on the kinds of x-ray you require. If you are exposed in front of the more radiation that you require than it can cause the great problem to your baby.
Likewise, if we take an example that what amount of radiation a baby gets from the mother’s dental x-ray? Diagnostic answers the question that the baby gets only 0.01 millirad from the mother’s dental x-ray. According to science, 1rad is equal to 1,000 millirad. So, if the mother is exposed in front of the 100,000 dental x-ray then baby will be getting only 1rad. However, baby is usually exposed to 100millirad of the natural radiation. It is very common during the pregnancy x-ray test.
Other fetal doses like 290millirad are used for the abdominal x-ray, 60millirad are used for the chest x-ray and many more. Although, there is no risk to baby by these normal diagnostic x-ray test! Experts also say that women can postpone getting the unnecessary x-ray radiation after giving birth to a child. It also depends on the doctor that if he feels that women require the radiation then they opt for that otherwise they ignore it.
