Question 76 refers to "x-ray or other radiation therapy"
Is this question asking for information on all the times you have had routine x-rays in your life time for dentists, broken bones, suspected broken bones, pain in joints, etc. or is it looking for a pattern of radiation therapy such as radiation for cancer therapy.
Luckily there has been no "radiation therapy" in my son's medical history but there have been some instances in the past 10 years where an orthopedic took x-rays to get a better look at a joint or bone. Only once did these x-rays result in corrective medical action (cast for a broken wrist).
Do we report every x-ray taken in the past 16 years? I don't want to confuse things by including things that are not needed (for example, I am assuming that dental x-rays do not need to be reported) but I also want to be sure and include full disclosure.
Thank you for your advice or guidance.

I guess I will add a short explaination that I misunderstood the question since I am now unable to change my answer.
