A NURA ultra-low-dose CT scan exposes you to approximately 0.1 to 0.2 millisieverts (mSv). To put this in perspective:
- It is about 97% less radiation than a standard diagnostic CT scan.
- It is roughly equivalent to the cosmic radiation you naturally absorb during a round-trip transatlantic flight.
- It is significantly lower than the normal “background radiation” everyone on Earth absorbs from the environment every year (which averages about 3.0 mSv).
