Low-Dose CT Scans

[carol marcus <csmarcus@ucla.edu>]

Dear Radsafers:

Does anyone know the approximate radiation absorbed dose from low-dose CT
scans of the chest used for lung cancer screening?  I am interested in the
approximate dose to the lungs, female breast, thoracic spine marrow, and the
effective dose equivalent (ede).  Thanks in advance for any help you can
give me.

Ciao, Carol
