X-ray is a type of high energy RADIATION and has some harmful effects, which include biological radiation effects. These radiation effects can be destructive to all living tissues and can cause DNA damage and mutations. The DNA damage if occurs can further enter certain states such as senescence that is an irreversible state of dormancy, cell suicide also known as apoptosis and unregulated cell division that forms a cancerous tumor.
The Xrays have bad effects on pregnancy and childbirth. The birth defects can deform the body of the infant and could be fatal to his life.
X-rays can harm the tissue in the bones which is called bone marrow. X-ray can cause baldness that is the loss of hair on the head. X-rays also cause cancer development, thyroid cancer and invisible spectrum. X-rays have biological radiation effects, which are observed when ionizing radiation strikes living tissue and destroys the molecules of cellular matter. Birth defects are also known as congenital disorders are abnormalities of structure or function that exists at birth. Pregnancy and childbirth imply the gestation period of the human reproductive cycle. Bone marrow is a soft and pulpy tissue that fills the bone cavities, which occur in two forms i.e. red and yellow. Hair loss is a baldness or alopecia that is partial or complete loss of hair affecting the scalp. Thyroid cancer also known as endocrine gland occurs in all vertebrate animals.

∙ 15y agoI can not give you a definitive answer to your question, however: I have had so many x rays since 1973 that I have lost count. I can tell you that I am still here and yes my health is very bad. If I had to guess at the number of x rays from 1973 till present I would say that I have had somewhere between 300 to 500 x rays and numerous MRI's. I hope this reply may help you in some way.

What are the advantages of X-ray?
X-rays visualizes an inner image of the human body.
How does the x-rays help the human body?
it helps doctors see over the flesh.
Is heat tranferred to human body during x ray?
Yes. X-rays have energy, and any x-rays absorbed by the human body would be converted to heat. Or most of that energy would be converted to heat, at any rate.
Which rays are more dangerous to human health?
UVB rays are more dangerous and damaging. there are many different category of rays which are harmful for human and extent of harm depends upon the extent of exposure. X rays if exposed for longer time may be dangerous.UV rays during experimentation is exposed more by the students so care must be taken.
Should you stay in the sun?
Yes, sunlight is good for our body. It stimulates our body to create proteins, just like it helps with photosynthesis in plants. The only thing you need to look out for are UV-rays. The sunlight consists of 'normal' light rays, infrared rays and Ultra-Violet rays. The Ultra-Violet rays are harmful for the human body. It can cause skin cancer when the body is exposed for too long.
