I'm curious about how many X-rays are too many for someone. I've had about 610 X-rays by the time I turned 32. Could this amount lead to cancer if I get more in the future?

Question

I just had my medical examination for a visa today and they had to take my X-ray 3 or 4 times because it wasn't coming out clear. Then they put this round iron thing with white tape on my nipple. Could this cause any problems or show up as some kind of opacity on the X-ray? I'm a bit confused about what this means.

Question

Is it okay to get a chest CT scan with contrast? I've been having chest pain, but my X-rays came back normal, and my doctor suggested a CT scan just to be safe. Should I be worried about anything?
