this isn’t a question about whether I am going to die from a CT scan I swear I am a student in the healthcare field and shadowed in the cath lab. A diagnostic cath was done and an aortic balloon pump was placed. The patient dose was recorded at 598 mGy. To me, this seemed really high, however I am not a radiology or rad tech student so I am not qualified to say. I guess I’m just wondering if this is a normal patient dose for this procedure
