What is the cumulative lifetime dose limit for a radiologic technologist who is two days past their 37th birthday?

The cumulative lifetime dose limit for a radiologic technologist is calculated using the formula of age in years multiplied by 10 mSv per year. In this case, since the individual is two days past their 37th birthday, they would be considered to be 37 years old for the purpose of this calculation.

Therefore, the cumulative lifetime dose limit would be 37 years × 10 mSv/year, which equals 370 mSv. This limit is established to ensure that radiation exposure remains within safe levels, thereby minimizing the risk of long-term health effects, such as cancer, associated with radiation exposure over time.

By adhering to this cumulative dose limit, radiologic technologists can ensure they are practicing safely and protecting their health while performing their professional duties.
