    The dose of X-rays is not strong, generally it will not cause harm to people. The dose of X-rays that can cause damage to human bodies is 500 to 1000 milligrams. According to existing regulations, regular hospitals routinely take chest X-rays for patients The radiation dose is only about 0.4 milligare, which is thousands of times different from the harmful dose, and will not cause harm to the human body.
