[ RadSafe ] New average annual medical dose

[Wes Van Pelt]

A few weeks ago there was some discussion on a new revised estimate of
annual dose from diagnostic medical procedures (e.g., x-rays, CT, mamo,
etc.). I recall that the annual average medical dose went from about 70 to
about 250 mrem per year. A BIG increase!

I cannot find the reference(s) to this new estimate. Can anyone help?

Best regards,
