	Here is a quote from a Reuters article about rad exposure in children.

"Radiation exposure became a major concern in October 2009 after the 
U.S. Food and Drug Administration said it was investigating more than 
2,000 cases in which patients received toxic doses of radiation 
during CT scans of the brain at a California hospital."  (I have 
omitted two hyperlinks.)

	What is a 'toxic dose' of radiation?
