If I believe the specs, then this device gives off a very low-dose, albeit a full-body one. 10 microrem is very, very small. Chest and mammography X-rays are very localised and have to be powerful since they must penetrate quite a lot of water. X-ray himself can undoubtedly shed some more light on the subject, being a trained medic and all.


Yeah, I just want to make sure that I expose my danglies to as little radiation as possible.
