Chest X-ray Radiation Dose: What to Expect
In a standard posteroanterior (PA) chest X-ray, the effective dose of radiation is typically around 0.1 millisieverts (mSv). This is a very low dose of radiation, and it is generally considered to be safe. For comparison, the average person in the United States is exposed to about 3 mSv of radiation from natural sources every year.Radiation Therapy - Related Articles
