A pedCAT Scan: Less Radiation Than A Serving of Brazil Nuts

Most people may not realize it, but humans are exposed to natural background radiation all the time. The source is naturally occurring radioactive materials and cosmic radiation from outer space. Geography plays a huge factor in how much radiation a person is exposed to, but the average  American adult receives an effective dose of about 3000 microSieverts a year.

So how does the Curvebeam pedCAT scan compare to radiation from other activities? See below!
