How much radiation are you talking about? Is it more than 5000 mrem per
year? Or, XX rad in one X-ray procedure? Or, are you pregnant?

I'm not sure. When i was a child i was hospitalized for more than a
year. I was x-rayed as i was told several times per week for more than a year.
since then i have had quite a few ct's from sinuses to abdominal to spinal as
well as others. I just wondered how much is too much, what are the
repercussions of too much. What are alternatives to radiation x-rays?
Ha! Ha! Ha! No i'm not pregnant. (Smile)

I don't think you can determine how much is too much unless you have
your dosimeter reading. I think your physician or radiologist was aware
of the radiation dosage on your body. Do you think you were overexposed?
