Fluoroscopy radiation?

I'm wondering if a fluoroscopy to look at the veins in your pelvis/abdomen that lasts around 10 minutes and the dose area product is 25Gy cm2 is bad?

Is that a lot of radiation? How much would it increase a person's lifetime cancer risk?

I keep seeing values in msv, so not too sure?

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/
