Had my grandson in for a hip CT scan today. I asked what the dose would be from the scan. She replied with mobo jumbo designed to  satisfy the populace of the government levels and how the hospital used 15% of that. When I identified myself as a Rad Pro professional, she threw out the applied wattage numbers. I asked once more about the dose and she blew me off with not having the time to get that information.
Fricken Jrs!

Just had an abdominal CT done. The rad tech this time was not as conversant as my previous experience. When I ID'd myself as a nuclear professional, she pulled the old dumb tech act and said that i would have to write the radiologist yadda yadda yadda and that she would have no availability of the data. Upon completion of the scan she said that she DID find the data in the printout by the machine. My exposure was 1.76mGy! As i was in alot of pain, i didn't push it. But, I know from previous, that was the dose per exposure, not the total. However, the dose per "slice" was quite a bit less than my prior CT, so unless she shot 8 times the previous I probably only got ~1 year's occupational.
