I wouldnt worry about that. Id be more concerned if you were flying for your job a lot and getting xrayed. Always opt out for the airport xray. Limit your xray exposer and you should be fine.
Oh thank you so much, that is such a good point. So the scanner booths at airports are x-ray based? I have been opting out just because it is an undignified position to hold. And I don't want my nudes leaked.
Yep they are xray based. Your point is valid, and everyone should opt out. May cause the check to be longer since the xray line goes so fast, but isnt that why we get there 2hrs early? No nude pictures just a picture of your skeleton and a huge dose of xray energy to your body.
They produce false positives as well. They are mainly looking for objects that are not metal based. E.g. Plastic knife. Bag of sugar. Choking harards. Besides the opt out they pat you down with a paper strip and run it through a machine to determine that you dont have explosive chemicals on you.
I know this because i went on a date with a chinese national who was getting her Ph.D from SDSU and worked on those machines. She said she was an only child and was told by dad to do this. She wanted to be a lawyer.
I got pulled aside once for having a ceramic plate in my carry on.
Looking for how much and what type of iodine to take before and afterwards. Dosage, x per day. Or any other supplements. I have to protect my ovaries and thyroid. Thanks!
130mg Potassium Iodide tablets, once daily. It's mostly for radioactive particles in contaminated foods/water, though, and not for acute xray exposure.
The tablet saturates your brain with not- radioactive iodine so that your body doesn't use the radioactive iodine from your food after a nuclear bomb.
I'd treat the skin with aloe afterward as if it received a sunburn. That might be about all you can do.
Don't take in mind. Just don't fly very often next year and your average radiation dose will be below threshold of worrying.
If you don't have metal objects inside (repaired joints or bone evforcements), next time just ask for MRT, not X-ray of your spine. MRT gives more useful results in 3D and does not use any ionising radiation.
Strange that they sent you to X-ray for spine. Even in Russia nobody use X-ray for such tasks. X-Ray is only for simple broken arm, teeth problems or other small things or when there are some metal objects inside a body so you can't be MRT'ed.
