A member asked:

What amount radiation specifically comes from a ct scan of abdomen/bowel?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

See below: The info provided on the chart if you go to the link below should be very helpful. It will show you the radiation dose for many different radiology exams. http://www.radiologyinfo.org/en/safety/?pg=sfty_xray in general, the risk from the radiation exposure of a ct of the abdomen and pelvis is very low.

I had 7 ct scans in a month, 5 in a week. Roughly 35-42 msv. 5 abdomen, 1 chest, 1 head. The 5 in a week were 3 abdomen, 1 chest, 1 head. I was told because I was small, I didn't really absorb that much radiation. Did I raise my risks drastically?
