Ionized radiation for heart test

Posted by gulzar @gulzar, Jun 20, 2016

I received heart test with injection of i believe was Ionized radiation in 2007 24.0 mci then next day 26.7 mci.
on 2011 I received 31.7 and had repeat the test and received 30.2 mci. equivalent to mvs radiation.
Since I am going to get more radiation in PRRT treatment for my cancer I would like to know how much radiation I had compared to CT scan as mvs.
Because I have limited amount exposure to radiation in life time. I had more CT scans therefore I would like an answer.

@gulzar, this is a very specific question to you that only your radiation oncologist could answer. I would, however, be very curious to the answer. Please let us know what you find out.
