        China a chest X-ray usage over Britain's 300 times, radiation into cancer or curse, the news has draw many attention. According to reports, a chest X-ray is the medical examination commonly used auxiliary diagnosis method, the utilization rate reaches as high as 61%, but in the United States, Japan and other most developed countries have been eliminated. In the use of a few countries, Britain's utilization rate is only 0.2%. Experts say, do a chest X-ray is equivalent to take ten times X ray film check, or into carcinogenic curse, a chest X-ray shouldn't into children's medical examination of routine inspection project. (December 12, the henan business news)

        Will the author ignorant, see this news, will get a big surprise -- in October, the unit medical organization, the author was hospital "through" one. More surprisingly, the developed countries have already eliminated a chest X-ray, and many domestic hospital, still will be a chest X-ray as medical examination commonly used auxiliary diagnosis method. A survey showed that 82.4% of users in a medical examination, x-rays are classified as will check project, it is said that individual place even a chest X-ray as medical students "reserved program". It is worth thinking.

        Experts say, x-rays are into "fierce through", is a chest X-ray of radiation can cause part of the body cell damage, if can't repair itself, will present in the body, such as "time bomb", when low immunity, start crazy copy, become cancer lesions, do a chest X-ray, the more the greater the probability that trigger cancer. Children are in growth peak, cell division and active, much more sensitive than adults. Perhaps is based on this, the ministry of health as early as 6 years ago has stipulated: small and medium-sized medical students no longer do a chest X-ray. But the rules seem to fall to the feet. The end of August this year, a private school of zhengzhou by exposure to a freshman to do a chest X-ray examination. Obviously, it belongs to a kind of illegal behavior. Unfortunately, this is not a rare violations.

        So, why give up not to drop a chest X-ray this bad inspection diagnosis approach? On the one hand, due to the popularization of medical knowledge, behind the development of medical and health services. The lack of medical knowledge and even common sense of the public, to medical treatment only a cognitive, often from the doctor that there. In fact, however, such as the author and ordinary people, doing a chest X-ray check-up, almost no doctor told the dangers of a chest X-ray, no doctor told "can do chest X-ray is not to do a chest X-ray inspection", even a chest X-ray chest radiography and all points is not clear. Medical knowledge so scarce, and how to avoid "fierce through" dangerous?

        On the other hand, backward by chest X-ray chase after hold in both hands, also due to high cost. If a doctor is down to brass tacks when "to do a chest X-ray, the key is the problem of money". According to reports, a chest X-ray prices for most of the eight yuan every time, and sternum is as high as hundreds of yuan each time. This gap between some unit of collective medical, still choose low price of a chest X-ray, it is not so difficult to understand.

        An investigation shows that, in recent years, the incidence of cancer with radiation accumulated up, there is a certain relationship. China a chest X-ray utilization rate more than Britain's 300 times, a chest X-ray into "fierce through" remind us that whether children, teenagers, adults or medical check-up should try to get rid of the project, not because the market demand. By physical examination, should also be given to the risk and hazard medical project power. This needs the government issued the voice of authority, vigorously popularize the medical knowledge, and to the power of the administrative rules and regulations, the backward a chest X-ray medical really knocked out.
