X-ray security scanners for personnel and vehicle control: Dose quantities and dose values

In the following, the measuring quantities which are to be used for these investigations will be discussed and the measuring instruments will be presented. Furthermore, the experimental set-up is described. For the personnel X-ray scanners investigated, the obtained dose values are in the range from 0.07 to 6 μSv. These values will be compared to the dose values of the natural environmental radiation and some exposures in the field of medicine.
