How to find out amount of radiation based on DICOM images and reports?

Hello, total lay-person here.

By looking at a set of DICOM images and patient protocol, how can I tell the total amount of radiation (mSv) of that CAT scan session?

In the DICOM patient protocol, I see only Total mAs and Total mGycm, however I dont see any mSv.

Is there a way to tell or do those units relate somehow in a way that I could use a formula to figure out the mSv?

Thank you

Do rad techs/sonographers deal with vomit often?

Hi there! I’m currently considering going to school to be a rad tech or sonographer but I’m struggling to find out if you guys deal with vomit a lot. I am emetophobic (phobia of vomit) and, while I think I’d like these jobs a lot, it does worry me to think about having to deal with it often. Thank you for your help! submitted by /u/pootscoot1 [link] [comments] source https://www.reddit.com/r/Radiology/comments/p5y0aa/do_rad_techssonographers_deal_with_vomit_often/
