Radiation Doses We get small amounts of radiation all the time from the world around us. And sometimes a little extra when we have an X-ray. The health effect of ionizing radiation is measured inSieverts(Sv). 1 Sv is avery large and dangerous dose, so we tend to talk about: microSi...
The effects of cellular damage are dependent on the absorbed dose and the time frame of the irradiation and can be categorized as either stochastic or tissue-dependent effects. Stochastic effects are associated with carcinogenesis (the onset of cancer), can take several years to even decades to ...
1,500-1700 μSv = 1.5-1.7 mSv: annual dose for flight attendants. 10,000-30,000 μSv = 10-30 mSv: single full-body CT scan. 80,000 μSv = 80 mSv: 6-month stay on the International Space Station. 250,000 μSv = 250 mSv: 6-month trip to Mars. 670,000 μSv = 670 mSv: ...
About 85% received > 1 mSv; 15 % between 1 and 5 mSv with an average dose less than 0.8 mSv. Those who received >1 mSv dose either had long journey time with the patient back home or relatively longer period of stay near non-ambulatory patients.The thyroid monitoring was also done in...
The effective dose depends mainly on the quantity of radiation utilized during the exam, relating directly with the level of effective mAs (miliamper per second). The latter is determined by the tube current (in mA), the tube rotation time (in seconds) and the pitch. With the adequate use...
More than 80 percent of this dose comes from natural background radiation [source: DOE]. However, outside considerations greatly affect the average dose. Where and how you live affects the amount of radiation exposure you receive. For example, people who live in the Pacific Northwest part of ...
Risk of harm is dependent on both the dose and the dose rate (the time the body is exposed to that dose). So a dose of 1,000 mSv over an hour is considerably more damaging than a dose of 1,000 mSv over a year. Radiation Dose Calculator We live in a radioactive world - humans ...
