[Radiation exposure and radiation risks from body scanners (author's transl)].
The exposure received during investigation with the Delta 50 FS body scanner was measured in 150 patients. On the basis of data in IRCP 26, the somatic and genetic risk from the absorbed dose was calculated. The somatic risk per examination varies between 1:40 000 and 1:310 000, depending on the part of the body examined. The genetic risk (probability of radiation induced malformation in off-springs) is of the order of 1:19 000 to 1:1 5 million.
