What are some radiology or radiation myths?

Kenneth W. Chin (M.D., F.A.C.R.) gives expert video advice on: Can I get cancer from getting an X-ray?; If a woman finds a lump in her breast, does that mean she has breast cancer?; Will I become sterile if I get an X-ray? and more...

One of the radiology myths that the public generally holds, is that any radiation will cause cancer. That just isn't true. We always want to be sure that we limit the amount of radiation that any person who undergoes a diagnostic examination is exposed to, because there is always a relative risk versus benefit of having that examination.
