I've learned all about such studies, because in theory, I need to know what hazards I work with. Funny thing is though, once working with it, you realize there is a large gap between what could happen and what actually goes on. The amount of radiation used is so miniscule when radiographing a set of X-rays the compound effects on the tissue just arn't present in statistically mentionable amounts. If it were, there'd be alot more deformities seen in the immense cat and dog population, and even of course the human population where Xrays are common. (unless you're already considering the human pop. as demented ) Remember that there is a significant amount of time that passes prior to knowledge of a pregnancy.



Concern is mostly diverted towards the radiologists that are present when x-rays are taken every day.
