Terry, I'm very sorry for taking so long to respond to your question. In short, the medical benefits you may have gained from the x-ray procedures far outweigh any attendant health risks from the x-ray procedures. I recommend that you check out some similar questions and answers posted on the Health Physics Society Web Site: http://hps.org/public information/ate/cat5.html As stated on the website, "The Health Physics Society is a scientific and professional organization whose members specialize in occupational and environmental radiation safety." http://hps.org/ I hope you find this information helpful. v/r Michael
