I'm worried about some ongoing health issues and wondered if a CT scan of the abdomen and chest might reveal problems with my aorta, diaphragm, or soft tissue. Could these areas show potential issues on this type of scan?

I'm wondering if it's safe for my 16-year-old daughter to get a chest x-ray. I know she's been advised to have one, but I'm concerned about how appropriate it is for her age. Should we be worried about any risks or try to avoid the x-ray altogether?

if compulsory then you can take

I'm a bit confused about my x-ray reports. The first time I got it done, the results seemed off, but when I had another one the next day, everything looked fine. I'm just trying to understand if it's common to get different x-ray results like that, and if there's a chance something could have gone wrong the first time. Is this something I should worry about?
