A member asked:
What is the msv dose for a dental panoramic x-ray?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Millisievert dosage: A panoramic dental xray typically contains 2-3 mrem, or 0.02 - 0.03 millisieverts if it is a digital xray. An older, film panorex would be several times that dose, but either way, radiation exposure is about equivalent to a 3 hour plane flight
