At Oak Ridge, where nuclear physicists are so conscious of radiation hazards that they have done everything conceivable to reduce them, the skin exposure from a chest X ray is 10 mR. This low and relatively safe dose can be matched in any well-equipped, properly run X-ray department and it is achieved by qualified personnel in many of the better hospitals.
