Once the total effective dose to the embryo/fetus of the declared pregnant woman exceeds 400 mRem, she will be restricted from any further work involving occupational radiation exposure for the remainder of the pregnancy.
Many common medical tests, such as x-rays and CT (computed tomography) scans, expose the patient to radiation. If you have one of these tests while you are pregnant, your baby is also exposed.Some women have jobs that put them at risk of radiation exposure.The more radiation you are exposed to, and the earlier you are in your pregnancy, the more risk there is to your baby.f you are exposed to very large doses of radiation (more than the dose from 500 chest x-rays) early in your pregnancy, your baby can have health problems. Your baby is not at risk of birth defects if you are exposed to only a small amount of radiation during your pregnancy.
