Thanks for making this presentation- Radiation dose was my concern. Is it silly to request a scan of just my belly to measure visceral fat?

What is the radiation dose for the operator?

The dose for the operator is even lower than it is for the customer because we are not in the path of the beam. However, the operator may perform many scans a day, so they either sit behind a shielding screen or at a distance where the radiation is zero. Bodyscan's radiological procedures are audited annually by an independent radiation protection advisor (RPA) to ensure the dose and risk to clients and operators are as low as reasonably practical (ALARP).

@@Bodyscan Thanks for reply. I'm just still answering, if the dose at distance is zero, why also shield screen taken into consideration?

@@misterc3835 I said "they either sit behind a shielding screen OR at a distance where the radiation is zero". If there is space in the room for the operator to sit away then no shield is needed. If the room is small and the operator is forced to sit nearer the machine then we use a shield.

This is common knowledge, no? Bananas emit low level radiation

Very different than rays being concentrated into you… apples to bananas so to speak right?
