Comment Comment by uh_uh That would amount to 10 mrem of radiation per year. I don't believe this is a realistic estimate for a CT scan though. From epa.gov [1]:- Head CT: 2.0 mSv (200 mrem)- Chest CT: 8.0 mSv (800 mrem)- Abdomen CT: 10 mSv (1,000 mrem)- Pelvis CT: 10 mSv (1,000 mrem)So for a head CT, one would need to spend more than 13 hours per workday in the station. OP was off at least an order of magnitude.https://www.epa.gov/radiation/frequent-questions-radiation-m... parent uh_uh 1 year ago
