My doctor suggested a bone density test should I be concerned that there is an x-ray involved?
The radiation that you would get from a bone density test is about .1 mrm, about the same that you would get flying from California to New York. Naturally we absorb about 1 mrm of radiation per day if we are living at sea level and 2-3 times that much if we live at higher elevations like Denver (elevation 5,000).
