Hi,
If I were given a whole-body X-ray dose daily for many days (a year for example)
What would be the highest dosage per day which would result in an increased cancer risk but no noticeable signs of radiation poisoning by the end of the year, or during?
And also, I've read that a 2KRad dose would increase the risk of cancer to 100%
(Nearly 100%)
If this dose was spread over a year, would the cancer be most likely to result at the end of the year, or before, or far into the future?This is not a homework question, I want to make a radiation safety page for my website.
And also I have had one too many accidents with X-rays due to my being an idiot, so this is probably the reason I am concerned.Thanks
