If I believe the specs, then this device gives off a very low-dose, albeit a full-body one. 10 microrem is very, very small. Chest and mammography X-rays are very localised and have to be powerful since they must penetrate quite a lot of water. X-ray himself can undoubtedly shed some more light on the subject, being a trained medic and all.
Some people say that cats are sneaky, evil and cruel. True, and they have many other fine qualities as well.

Oh, that's easy. Just wear underwear plated with old lead, that should reduce the radiation exposure of the family jewels to a minimum. Of course, you will draw a lot of attention from security personnel wondering what the heck you are wearing a thing around your thingies for ;-).
