The amount of radiation exposure from an imaging test depends on the imaging test used and what part of the body is being tested. For instance: a single chest x-ray exposes the patient to about 0.1 msv. This is about the same amount of radiation people are exposed to naturally over the course of about 10 days. Let's connect over a call so that we can discuss your concern in details and make a suitable treatment plan for you.
