Does a digital X ray expose the patient to less radiation than traditional film X ray?

yes 1 xray give off 1 milirem there are 1,000 milirem in a rem U get more radition from the sun If you work at a nuclear plant you can get 80 milirem a day so please don't worry about xrays at all.please remember that the room have lead in the wall to prevent it from going all over and the xray tech where monitors so they can measure their exposure they are at no risk though
