I was made to undergo xray but the doctor said I have to undergo spot film both upper lobe the next day. Why do I need tyo take another xray exam when I already got one? What is the reason why the doctor advised me to undergo spotfilming? Is it not harmful to my health? I understand that exposure to radiation would cause trouble to my health. Please reply. Thanks.
