  • What are the side effects of radiation for bladder cancer?

    Sorry, I am a diagnostic radiologist and this question would be better answered by a radiation therapy oncologist. In general the effects of the bladder from radiation includes chronic inflammation to both the bladder and surrounding structures such as the rectum and small bowel. Chronic fibrosis and scarring can occur. READ MORE

  • How much radiation do you get from an x-ray?

    The amount you get from a chest X-ray is small about 200 Microsieverts. To put that in perspective, you receive 500 microsieverts from normal background radiation if you live in Denver, Colorado. A CT of the abdomen is 7000-10,000 Microsieverts. READ MORE

  • How many dental x-rays are too many in a year?

    The amount of radiation from a single digital oral x-ray is approximately 4 microsieverts. To put that in perspective normal background radiation in Denver, Colorado is 500 microsieverts. In other words the radiation dose is quite small and not a significant risk. A chest x-ray is approximately 25 microsieverts. A CT of the abdomen is somewhere between 7000 and 10,000 microsieverts. Therefore you can have many oral x-rays in a year and it is OK. READ MORE
