How many xrays and CTs have you had?

I realize you might not remember them all, but to your best estimation. What part of your body was zapped and approximately what year? You don’t have to break it down, you can just give a total number. Do you worry a lot how much radiation you are getting from xrays?

As a child in the early 70’s I remember at least two chest X-rays.

In my 20’s (circa 1995) I had about ten xrays of my lower back on what I feel was an old machine.

In my early 30’s (1999) an X-ray that was filming for more than a few seconds to guide a surgical procedure.

Head CT (2001)

CT neck to hips, some areas twice for contrast (2012)

5 xrays neck and shoulder, a couple knee xrays, a couple of others I don’t know exactly where. (2012).

Mammogram 4 times from 2,008 to 2020. The last two were 3D

Chest X-ray 2020.

Typical dental X-rays about every two years. Let’s say 25 over my lifetime.

3 full mouth panoramic dental X-rays.

I’ve only been through an airport security scan twice.

I’m 53.
