About Radiation Dose
Radiation dose (equivalent dose) measures biological effect of ionizing radiation. The SI unit is Sievert (Sv). The older unit rem = 0.01 Sv.
Common Radiation Exposures
- Average yearly background: 2-3 mSv
- Chest X-ray: 0.1 mSv
- CT scan: 2-10 mSv
- Flight (NY to LA): 0.04 mSv
- Radiation worker limit: 50 mSv/year
