People and dogs who have been recently x-rayed are not a danger to others. They don't suddenly start giving off radiation themselves (above background levels).

My bad. For those who believe that what you put out into the universe is what you get back, remember that the converse is true as well. If you receive x-rays with an open mind, you can also emit them.

A friend had a radio isotope cancer treatment. He also built a geiger counter (for his own amusement). It was quite scary how much he set the thing off getting close to it!

Instructions were to not sleep in the same bed as anyone else for 2 nights, and limit closeness to people or pets for the same period.
