Exposure from Electronic Beam Tomography (EBT)

["Guinn, Charles D" <cdguinn@SANDIA.GOV>]

RadSafers,



I'm hoping that someone in RadSafe land (e.g, Medical Health Physics) can

help me with some information.  While a collegue of mine was teaching a

radiation worker safety course, he was asked about a medical procedure

called electronic beam tomography (EBT).  The specific question was in

regard to the exposure received during an EBT on the heart and surrounding

area.  Can anyone help.  If someone can come up an answer quickly, I could

pass the info on while the student is still in class.
