How many Roentgen is safe?

It is "as low as reasonably achievable; however, not to exceed 5,000 millirems." It is recommended that lifetime cumulative exposure is not to exceed the age multiplied by 1,000 millirems. 500-Occupational limit per year for a minor under 18 exposed to radiation.

What is the correct pronunciation of "Wilhelm Roentgen"? Answer: “VIL-helm RURNT-gyen.” That's not exact, because English does not have a vowel sound to represent the German ö (“oe”) sound, but it's close enough to be understood.

How many xrays are safe in a month?

The American College of Radiology recommends limiting lifetime diagnostic radiation exposure to 100 mSv. That is equal to 10,000 chest x-rays or up to 25 chest CTs. I've known patients who have had 25 or more CT scans in their lives. But I've never met anyone who's had 10,000 chest x-rays.

How did Wilhelm Roentgen change the world?

In a series of subsequent experiments Roentgen discovered x-rays could pass through materials such as cardboard and human tissue, but not through denser substances such as metal and bone, which absorb the rays. In 1901, Roentgen became the first recipient of the Nobel Prize for Physics for his discovery.
