Original Note:
Statements about radiation in this post are misleading. A person receives a 5uSv (microSievert) background radiation dose just from living a normal day. - 1 dental xray=10uSv. - 1 mammogram=400uSv. - A CT scan delivers 2000uSv (=2mSv) which is why it’s used far less often. https://nrl.mit.edu/sites/default/files/documents/xkcd%20Radiation%20Dose%20Chart.pdf
