Chest X-ray 2 times / year. Is is precarious for the robustness? May it do some cancer or DNA problems?

I am living abroad and surrounded by order to gain working visa I have to trade name body-exams annually. Well, is it dangerous for a human to hold 2 X-rays/year? May it cause cancer and/or some genetic problems?
Thanks!


Answers:    A chest x-ray uses a completely low dose of radiation. Many patients who are in the ICU department of a hospital receive day after day portable chest x-rays during their hospital stay. There are no known cases of medical x-rays cause any cancer or DNA mutations in modern hours of daylight medicine.

"The chest x-ray is one of the lowest radiation exposure medical examinations perform today. The effective radiation dose from this procedure is just about 0.1 mSv, which is about like as the average person receive from background radiation surrounded by 10 days."

This is taken from a website which has question answered by qualified medical personel who are experts in radiation and it's effects. This is similar to your press:

"QUESTION: My son was born have swallowed heavy meconium. He be not getting any oxygen in his lungs and be in intensive comfort for two weeks. During this time, they x rayed his lungs possibly four or five times. What effects will it have on him? What signs should I be looking for if this have affected him surrounded by any way?
ANSWER: The radiation dose from chest x rays is the lowest of any x-ray procedure and is equal to roughly two or three weeks of background radiation. Even five of them produce an extremely low dose, specifically, so small as to be a nonissue. It will have no effects on your newborn.
