The National Council on Radiation Protection and Measurements (NCRP) recently released a report which stated that more than half of the American population's exposure to radiation now results from medical imaging scans.
The results of this survey showed that power level of all BTSs surveyed was much below the prescribed limits and in line with the policy directives of Ministry of Information Technology & Telecom and according to the World Health Organization (WHO) and International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection (ICNIRP) guidelines.
For more information on this, please see the next page for quoted material from the National Council on Radiation Protection and Measurements (NCRP) Presidential Report, Screening of Humans for Security Purposes Using Ionizing Radiation Scanning Systems, which was prepared at the request of the FDA.
