What disadvantage X-ray on DNA?

Damages DNA

X-rays can damage DNA, potentially leading to mutations. While the risk is low, it's still a potential disadvantage of using X-rays. For example, a single X-ray of the chest carries a very small risk of causing cancer. However, repeated X-rays, such as those used in certain medical procedures, can increase this risk.

To minimize the risk of DNA damage from X-rays, doctors take precautions such as using the lowest possible radiation dose and shielding sensitive areas of the body.
