Concerned about radiation exposure - (Aug/25/2007 )

ive had 3 diagnostic exrays in my life (1 spine series, 1 chest series and 1 upper GI) i also worked with I-125 and tritium for a year at a drug company. ive also had my routine dental xrays every 2 years. am i at a high risk for developing cancer ?

well no. the exams you took for your healthcare are not representing high irradiation exposure. For the I125, your medical staff in your lab/uni or radiation managers of your area should tell you what is the dose received, which, if you manipulate correct, is negligible over 2years.
