Radiologist people CAN`T produce baby?due to radiation exposure? I need help pls?

Question

My boyfriend wants to study and take up RAD-TECH(radiology esp in MRI).I was againts when he told me that because i am scared of some feedbacks from other people. Im afraid if he cant bare a child due to radiation exposure.I knew some physician who specialized in radiology and they dont have baby so im scared and so afraid if that might happen to us in the future. I wanna have baby someday to him. Pls I need some facts/advice about this...
HE CAN GIVE ME A CHILD OR HE CANT? WHEN HE BE RADIOLOGIST SOMEDAY?

Answer 1

If you have ever gotten an x-ray done, you would see that the risk is made as small as possible. The radiologist steps out of the room, behind a shielded lead wall whenever the x-ray is taken.

Here is a similar question from a website, and the answer from someone at the Health Physics Society, with embedded links to articles with more information. Hope this makes you feel better.

Q: I am considering a career as a radiology technician and am wondering about the risks to my health. How much exposure will I have and what are the short- and long-term risks/effects? I would like to know about even the smallest risks/risk factors.
A: Radiologic technologists receive ionizing radiation exposure in the course of performing their duties. As such, they are considered occupational radiation workers and are subject to the rules and requirements imposed by regulatory agencies responsible for regulating the safety of radiation workers. In general the regulatory agency for occupational workers using medical diagnostic x-ray equipment is the state in which the work is done. These agencies place limits on the amount of radiation exposure an occupational worker can receive. The actual exposure any individual worker receives is extremely variable depending on the specific circumstances of your work, including what types of x-ray equipment is used, the number of x rays you take, etc. However, every worker will be controlled so as not to exceed the safety limit established by the responsible regulatory agency. The risk from occupational exposure as a radiologic technologist, if there is any, will be the result of your individual dose of radiation which, as I pointed out, varies with each individual. So your question becomes the very broad question of what are the health risks of radiation? As background to this very broad question, I recommend you read the following Health Physics Society Position Statements which are found on the HPS Web site:
Occupational Radiation-Safety Standards and Regulations Are Sound and
Radiation Risk in Perspective
For more detailed information on the general topic of radiation health effects, three Web sites with basic information are the Radiation Effects Research Foundation Web site, the Idaho State University Health Physics Web site, and the University of Michigan Web site. Also, you can browse the questions already asked on the "Ask the Expert" feature of the Health Physics Society's Web site about radiation effects. Finally, I recommend you visit the Web site for the American Registry of Radiologic Technologists (ARRT). This site has contacts for the ARRT, which would be an appropriate organization to ask the same question. On this site, under the link to "Inter-Org Relations," there is a link to "R.T. Health Study" which has information about an ongoing health study of radiologic technologists. The ARRT may also be able to give you other career information such as salaries, job opportunities, etc.

Answer 2

NOT true.

Radiology techs (everyone in the department even) wear radiation detectors that they have to turn in every week that monitor how much exposure they have to radiation. It's a state and federal law. Anything above a limit and they are yanked out of their job and the hospital is fined, big-time.

The walls of the rooms are lined with lead... the aprons are lead lined. It's all good.

Don't worry about it.

y dont u save some of his sperm just in case go to one of those sperm bank places and get them to freeze it for later use
have a great day
