What should I pay attention to when examining the body with X-ray machine? Generally speaking, there are the following points:

1. The X-ray machine ray exposure for ordinary physical examination is not more than once a year for adults. Anti-cancer checkups for middle-aged and elderly people should be controlled within one time a year.

2. Adolescents taking X-rays may affect their growth and development. Therefore, X-ray machine inspections do not need to be listed as routine examinations during adolescent physical examinations.

3. X-ray irradiation during pregnancy may cause fetal malformations and neurological defects. Therefore, try not to do X-ray examination during pregnancy. For special reasons, it is best not to do more than twice during the whole pregnancy.

4. If X-ray inspection is required for treatment and diagnosis, lead protective equipment should be worn.

5. During the inspection, the subject must remove all objects that can cause shadows, such as applied ointments, tapes, necklaces, and items in the chest pocket. Women’s hair should be high.

 

6. When the X-ray machine is in working condition, the warning indicator on the door of the radiology room will be on. At this time, all patients will wait outside the protective door. If the patient does not need special care, family members should not enter the examination room to accompany them to reduce unnecessary radiation.
