[ RadSafe ] Re: baby in x-ray scanner

[Flanigan, Floyd]

I run pencil dosimeters through our x-ray machines here on a quarterly
basis and they average 1.5mr/pass. If the equipment they use is similar,
this issue is moot.

Well of course the first logical step would be to count the number of 
fingers and toes.  :-)
