Flight Radiation Dose Calculator Welcome to our simple and effective radiation dose calculator! Use this tool to quickly determine the Effective Dose (mSv) you receive during a flight. Whether you’re curious about radiation on a short domestic trip or a long-haul international flight, our calculator has you covered. How to Use Enter a value in the 'Flight Time (hours)' field to calculate the effective dose in millisieverts (mSv). Our calculator uses an average radiation dose of 0.004 mSv per hour , based on data from Wikipedia . For example: A 7-hour flight results in a dose of 0.028 mSv . Time of flight (hrs) Dose rate (mSv/h) Effective dose (mSv) More Information About Flight Radiation Where Does the Radiation Come From? The radiation you are exposed to during a flight primarily comes from cosmic radiation, which becomes more intense as you fly higher. At typical cruising altitudes of 30,000-35,000...

Here is a straightforward CT dose calculator for determining the Effective Dose (mSv) from the Dose Length Product (mGy cm) for a CT exam of a single organ. Type a value in the DLP field to convert to mSv effective dose:   DLP DLP unit Gy.cm dGy.cm cGy.cm mGy.cm uGy.cm Patient 0 year old 1 year old 5 year old 10 year old adult Body region Head and Neck Head Neck Chest Abdomen and Pelvis Trunk   k (mSv.mGy-1.cm-1) Effective dose (mSv) The values for the conversion factor that are used in the calculator are taken from the AAPM task group report on Radiation Dose Reporting .

 As we jet across the globe, soaring through the skies in sleek metal birds, we often forget about the invisible forces at play during our airborne adventures. One such factor is radiation exposure, a topic that's gaining traction among frequent flyers and health-conscious travelers alike. In this blog post, we'll explore the concept of radiation exposure during airplane flights, focusing on the differences between transatlantic and domestic journeys and providing insights into the amount of radiation passengers are typically exposed to. Radiation in the Friendly Skies Before we delve into the specifics of radiation exposure during flights, let's grasp the fundamentals. When cruising at high altitudes, airplanes expose passengers to cosmic radiation, which emanates from outer space and interacts with Earth's atmosphere. This radiation increases with altitude due to the diminished shielding provided by the atmosphere. Additionally, aircraft themselves emit some radiation...
