A member asked:
How much radiation exposure comes with a ct of neck?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depends on scanner: This will vary with the scanner, somewhat. I found an assessment/estimate of this with a google search and i really can't do better than this. You would need to get several pieces of information off the scanner and would need to account for the technique- single or multiple passes, etc. See: http://answers.Google.Com/answers/threadview/id/742075.Html.
