a) If a chest x ray delivers 0.25 mSv to 5.0 kg of tissue, how many total joules of energy does this tissue receive? (Assume RBE=1.0) (b) Natural radiation and cosmic rays deliver about 0.10 mSv per year at sea level. Assuming an RBE of 1, how many rem and rads is this dose, and how many joules of energy does a 75-kg person receive in a year?
