While X-rays can pose risks due to ionizing radiation, their medical benefits in diagnosing and monitoring various health conditions can outweigh the potential harms, particularly when used judiciously and with protective measures in place. Balancing the benefits and risks of X-ray use is crucial in medical settings, and advancements in technology and protocols continue to reduce the associated risks. In the context of longevity, the judicious use of X-rays as a diagnostic tool can contribute to early interventions and better health outcomes, potentially supporting a longer, healthier life when the benefits outweigh the risks. | While X-rays can pose risks due to ionizing radiation, their medical benefits in diagnosing and monitoring various health conditions can outweigh the potential harms, particularly when used judiciously and with protective measures in place.
