A typical CT scan abdomen pelvis and head delivers effective radiation dose of approximately 10 mSv and 2 mSv , respectively .
Well, according to NCRP guideline limits the effective dose 5 mSv per year for general population, whereas ICRP also limits 5mSv in a single year
Next Steps
what you can do is limit further exposure in over the next 5 years as low as possible.
