Ok so i just started radiologic technology program, in september. And we started clinical 4 weeks ago, which is only 2 days a week, I been learning to do portable x-rays, i have in fluoroscopic room once (i was wearing protective barrier in the room), the regular x-rays rooms have a booth but there are no doors to close when a tech is in , so i have been worried because i just found out i am 5 weeks pregnant. I am not sure if i have affected the embryo ??????? Help with advice or if any tech has been through this.

You really need to discuss this important situation with the manager of your radiologic technology program. It is essential you establish if you are adequately protected at all times and if there are any areas of doubt, what action can be taken to help you.
From what you say, you was one week pregnant prior to starting this work.
I’m sure this question has come up before at work and the answers should be fairly straightforward, but don’t delay asking.
