    Radiation Exposure From Medical Diagnostic Imaging Procedures Chart

    Uploaded by

    Ahmad Idris
    This document lists common medical diagnostic imaging procedures and their associated radiation dose in millisieverts (mSv) and dose equivalent. Procedures such as chest x-rays have very low doses between 0.02-0.04 mSv, while CT scans of the abdomen can result in doses of around 10 mSv. The highest doses are from procedures like barium enema at 7 mSv and angiography at 4.6-57 mSv, with the reference sources being the Health Physics Society, EC 2000, and UNSCEAR 2010 reports.
