Haha, your frnd is doing a great business with u. Anyways , Its a wrong statement. One chest x-ray causes exposure of 0.1 mSV radiation to the body which is equivalent to 5-10 days of exposure of radiation from environmental sources, depending upon where u live. So u must think seriously on where u r living rather than minor x-ray exposure!!!!!!
