There is no safe threshold for ionizing radiation. Every dose adds to your lifetime total and nobody is keeping count for you.
Radiation exposure is linear risk. The more you accumulate, the higher your cancer risk climbs. Yet no one in the exam room walks you through how many millisieverts you've absorbed over your lifetime. X-rays get ordered as filler, something to do when there isn't time to think.
What that means for breast tissue, an organ already prone to cancer, is a question the mammogram industry has little interest in answering.
Watch this episode of Intellectual Medicine and get the context your radiologist never gives you.
