Regarding Frequent Chest X-Rays test
I went through 3 chest X-Rays in one day for some medical checkup. Now I have to go through one more chest X-Ray test for a job opportunity (as a Pre-Employment Medical checkup). So totally I will have 4 chest X-Rays in just a week. Is it safe to go through X-Ray radiations so frequently?

Dose of Radiation in chest X-ray is very low. It is always advisable to avoid unnecessary X-ray exposure but if required for a medical condition than you should do

4 x-rays will not harm you. 1 head CT is equivalent to 300 chest x-ray and 1 abdominal CT scan is equivalent to 500 x rays
