Hello doctor,
My wife is seven weeks pregnant. She had to undergo an X-ray and mammogram recently. Is there any risk of radiation to the fetus?
Hello,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
- From your description, it is difficult to say if there would be any long-term effects to the fetus.
- You can get an early anomaly scan at 12 weeks of pregnancy to rule out any abnormalities.
- Usually, a single exposure does not cause trouble. So, for all practical purposes, it should be alright and there would not be any radiation damage to the fetus.
Take care.
