About Radiation Dose Conversion

The sievert (Sv) measures the biological effect of ionizing radiation. Average annual background radiation exposure is approximately 2-3 mSv. A single chest X-ray delivers about 0.02 mSv, while a CT scan may deliver 1-10 mSv.

The rem (roentgen equivalent man) is an older unit still used in the United States. 1 Sv = 100 rem. Accurate dose conversions are critical for radiation safety, medical imaging, and nuclear industry regulations.
