Dear Marra315,

I got X-Ray and a CT within a matter of minutes for  appendicitis that I thought was a gas pain. However, I am concerned about the prolong expouser of radiation in such a short time apart. Do you think that patients should be given an oppertunity to choose whether to cover themselves

its not any diffrent really , if you work there you are monitored closely for radiation but as a patient ot is no risk unless pregnant , and then can still be done if needed .
