On average, an individual receives about 2.0 to 2.5 mSv (millisievert, measurement of X-ray) a year from natural background radiation. The effective doses of the majority of X-ray examinations are very low, e.g. one receives about 0.02 to 0.04 mSv for a chest X-ray examination. These examinations are generally considered safe.

Exposure of the embryo in the first three weeks following conception is not likely to result in adverse effects in the liveborn child. Nevertheless, X-ray examinations causing direct exposures to the abdomen or pelvis of women likely to be pregnant should be avoided unless there are strong clinical indications.

Plain X-ray examinations of area remote from the fetus, such as the chest, skull or extremities, can be done safely at any time during pregnancy, if proper radiation protection is applied.

When a lady of child bearing age requires an x-ray examination involving direct irradiation of the abdomen or pelvis and if she cannot exclude the possibility of pregnancy, consideration should be given to postpone the examination by applying the 28-day rule.  With respect to Code of Practices, please provide information about your last menstrual period (LMP) to the concerned staff when required.
