X-Ray fogging

I recently did a round trip from London UK to New York. I was carrying a bunch of Neopand 1600 and Agfa APX 400 (difficult to find in NY and I had not much time to spend shopping around). I was unable to avoid the films to be scanned. Once in New York I ran out of film and bought some Tri X. Back home, after a second scan of the Neopan and Agfa and a 1st scan on the Tri X, I just finished developping most of my films. They are all more or less fogged. I used different developpers on different films: Rodinal on Agfa, Emofin on the rest (lots of night shots). After seing the first fogged rolls I renewed all my chemicals, to no avail: I'm pretty sure the films have been fogged during X-Ray scanning.

My questions: Besides using some Farmer's reducer, does anybody has good advice on how best to remove fog? I still have a few rolls to develop: Is there a special developer I can use to reduce fog?

Some findings: Despite being scanned 2 times and being the fastest film, Neopan 1600 (more like a 800 Iso film) shows almost no fog at all. Agfa 400: Also scanned twice. Nasty fogging on some rolls, less on some others. Still printable as is, but would be better if I could reduce fog. Tri X: A surprise. It has been scanned only once, but shows the most fog. In fact it has so much fog that I cannot get any decent print out of it.

Thanks
