Is there a radiation physicist can help me calculate my xray medical tests by msv ?
Thank u
Thank u

Dmytry said:One of the weirdest things with medical x-ray is that usually none of the doctors or technicians got a slightest clue what the dose is. That kind of boggles my mind.
Then, as consequence, such stuff happens:

"the technologist took 151 CT scans in a 65-minute period", resulting in radiation burn.
It is not an uncommon occurrence. This sort of injury is directly caused by viewing effects of radiation as 'negligible'.
You can probably find the dose from the operational manual of the exact device in question. If technicians do not know it[the exact dose], they did not RTFM properly.

A medical xray calculator is a tool used by healthcare professionals to determine the appropriate amount of radiation to use when performing xray imaging on a patient. It takes into account the type of xray, the body part being imaged, and the patient's age and size to calculate the safest and most effective radiation dose.
A medical xray calculator is important because it helps healthcare professionals minimize the risks associated with radiation exposure. By calculating the appropriate dose for each patient, unnecessary exposure is avoided, reducing the risk of potential side effects such as radiation burns and cancer.
Medical xray calculators are used by radiologists, radiographers, and other healthcare professionals who perform or oversee xray imaging. They are also commonly used in hospitals, clinics, and imaging centers.
Medical xray calculators are highly accurate, as they are based on established medical guidelines and algorithms. However, it's important for healthcare professionals to input the correct information and regularly update the calculator to ensure the most accurate results.
Yes, there are different types of medical xray calculators that may be used for different types of imaging or for different patient populations. Some may be specific to pediatric patients, while others may be tailored for specific imaging techniques such as CT scans or mammograms.
