Colon CT dose

[Keith Welch <welch@jlab.org>]

Could someone help me with approximate dose from CT scan to the lower

torso?  I don't know details, but the scan is followup to colonectomy.

>From what I understand it extends down from about the lower tip of the

lungs.  Anyone have rough estimate of the effective/organ dose from

"typical" scan of this type?
