For patients undergoing medical radiation there is no strict exposure limit—it is the responsibility of medical professionals to weigh the risks and benefits of radiation used in diagnostics and treatment, according to Langhorst. A single CT scan, for example, can expose a patient to more than one millisievert.
Radiation sickness (or acute radiation syndrome) usually sets in after a whole-body dose of three sieverts—3,000 times the recommended public dose limit per year, Langhorst says.
