Recently because of cervical and shoulder pain, by its shoulders, pain more than six months, so go to the hospital to take a X-ray check a bit,
The film did not see any problems, but later heard that X radiation may cause cancer, and now my heart is very afraid
Baidu checked a lot of information, the more the more afraid to find, and very worried, and there is no more people to say that
What is the risk?
Radiation is divided into two categories, ionizing radiation and non-ionizing radiation. Ionizing radiation refers to the high frequency radiation that can ionize the substance, which can damage the DNA molecule and thus may cause cancer. Non-ionizing radiation is low-frequency radiation, there is not enough energy to directly damage the DNA molecules, so there is no evidence that this radiation can induce cancer.
For the general population, physical examination is the main opportunity to contact ionizing radiation. In the physical examination, X-ray, computed tomography (CT), nuclear medicine test, etc., are ionizing radiation, is a careful radiation source; MRI, ultrasound and other non-ionizing radiation, relatively safe.
