Pregnancy and x-ray.
Hi there.
Had the request for the medicals, etc. on Friday, however my wife is 6 months pregnant.
Has anyone here had the chest x-ray while pregnant?

Hello there,
In general havig a chest x-ray while pregnant shouldn't be a problem as they can sheild the abdomen, however it may be the policy of whoever is doing the x-ray that they don't x-ray pregnant women in a non-emergency situation. You need to contact wherever you were planning on having your medicals/x-rays.
Sorry if this hasn't been much help.
