Hi, my enquire is about the amount of mSv that I received during my scan of a pulmonary angiogram CT with contrast iodine. I was wondering about the total mSv that my body received and the amount that was absorbed by my breast and lungs. Does Total DLP equate to mSv that I received? I have BMI of 19 (52kg and 165cm height). Image says total exam DLP mGy - cm as 8.72 and CDTI vol mGy as 17.43. During the examination, I accidentally moved and put my left arm also into the machine which I am guessing will also increase the mSv that I received? I am a 23 year old female and the amount of radiation that I have received is really concerning me.
