X-Rays & Radiation Dose - Information for Patients 

CT Dose Information:

If you had an examination in the Radiology Department which used ionising radiation to create images, your Radiology report will include the amount of radiation used.

In CT, when more than one region is scanned, the total dose is displayed twice.  This is due to the way that the scan is registered on our system.  Therefore, the dose should not be added together and is a duplication.  If you have any questions, please email diagnosticImaging@bonsecours.ie

The information leaflet below gives further information on x-rays and radiation dose.
