Dose rangeExamples of exposure
Very low doses< 0.05 GyMammography4, chest X-ray4
Low doses0.05–0.5 GyCardaic CT angiogram4
Medium doses0.5–5 GyOne fraction dose in standard fractionated radiotherapy5, dose absorbed by workers during Fukushima accident6
High doses5–15 GyIntraoperative radiotherapy (as boost)7
Very high doses> 15 GyIntraoperative radiotherapy8, cumulative dose delivered during fractionated radiotherapy5
