How can radiation (low dose 2 msv) to the brain affect the intelligence of the baby? my baby was only 7 months when he was exposed to radiation.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Minimal effect: A 2 msv dose such as from a head CT is a very low dose. Unlikely to have any impact on intelligence or cognition.
