Fluoroscopic exposures

["Neil, David M" <neildm@ID.DOE.GOV>]

One of my co-workers is having steroid injections for disc problems in her

neck.  Apparently, the procedure will be performed under a fluoroscope, and

she was wondering what the typical exposure would be.



I know there are several medical radiology folks out there, so does anyone

have a handle on what this involves?



Thanks
