Hello doctor, I had a CT scan of the chest and abdomen. What is odd about this scan is that the technician did three scout scans before the final helical scan, which made me uncomfortable because I do not know how much radiation I received in those scans. When I got the CD, I looked at the dose report and it only reported the radiation dosage for the helical scan. The data for the scout scan is just dashed. So, I called the clinic and asked them for the radiation dose of the scout scans, and I was promised that someone will return my call with the requested information. But, I never got any callback. Is the radiation dose for the scout scans actually on the CD the clinic gave me and if so, can you help me extract that information? I have attached the reports.
