What is the typical effective dose of radiation of a lumbar spine x-ray?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Very technical , -: -& it depends on the power of the dream, as well as the distance from it. U would have 2 use these figures 2calculate the radiation dose. Older machines will give U more exposure as compared 2 newer digital imaging.
