Thanks Qwikstop

The radiologist has quoted me 1.5 to 3 mSv for the cardio angiogram.

Do you know if they can tell me the exact exposure after the scan?

Do the CT machines have safeguards in place to avoid overdosing, say if a repeat scan was necessary due to patient factors like movement or too fast a heart beat?

I guess they must have to do initial setup scans for correct positioning, are these normally included in quoted mSV figures?

I'm warming towards having it done.
