Can you get radiation from X-rays?

I am a 19 year old female. I want to know if you can get radiation from X-rays?

X rays create radiation exposure. Those exposures relate to the position of the X-ray tube to the patient and the exposure factors for that exam. Ultrasound and MRI do not create images via X ray or radiation. CT scans and Nuclear medicine studies have radiation exposures.
