a dose query

[Sonter Mark <sonterm@epa.nsw.gov.au>]

This is just a little query:



What is the (whole body) effective dose (in microsieverts) from a typical

dental xray, (eg, bitewing) giving something like 3 mGy absorbed dose in air

at the skin surface?



Is this even a sensible question to ask?
