A member asked:
1 nasapharynx x ray is equal to how many days of natural radiation exposure?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
The exposure for your nasopharynx was a low dose beam concentrated in that one area of your body. Natural radiation exposes your entire body. It's really hard to compare the two. Your image was necessary to diagnose a specific issue.
