Asking for Sister, Female, 24 years old, Karachi
Plz reply me can i do chest xray during pregnancy ? Is it safee?
It is not safe to do x ray during pregnancy unless it is very necessary and done with proper protection and cover to the abdomen and pelvic area.
Dear
Ideally it should be avoided but if it is necessary than do with sheild
No its not safe radiation is teratogenic
But if necessary to an xray.. then can be done after 30 weeks of pregnancy
by sheilding the abdomen with lead apron
