Is airport body scanner safe

Question

Hi mummies,I just came back from my trip to Seoul and Im feeling a bit worried. I walked through the full-body airport scanner in incheon airport (the one where you raise your arms), not the metal detector. The scanner has two tall pannels on either side and u stand in the middle with arms raised.My husband told them that I’m pregnant, and they actually asked me to just walk through the scanner. But I was so confuse at that moment that I ended up going through it with my hands up, so I think I completed the full scan.Has anyone travelled during the first trimester and gone through this type of scanner?Im worried because I’m afraid the scanner might emit radiation.

I went to Seoul during 1st trim back in Jan and i inform the custom staff that im pregnant and do physical body check instead…My gynae gv me a letter on standby too..🫨 i think they might have ask u to walk to the other side to do physical check instead..What done is done, maybe u could let your gynae know during ur next check up.
