What You'll Get

A patient-ready comparison card showing how common X-ray and CT doses compare to everyday background radiation — so patients feel informed, not alarmed.

The Prompt

Copy and paste this
Create a short patient education card comparing radiation doses from common imaging exams (chest X-ray, lumbar spine X-ray, CT abdomen, CT chest) to everyday sources of radiation (airline flight, background radiation per year). Use plain language and simple comparisons. Format as 5–6 bullet points.

Tips

Verify the dose numbers against your department's current reference values before printing — AI figures are typically based on published ACR data but may not match your specific equipment. Add "Include a one-sentence note that risk from a single diagnostic exam is considered very low" for a reassuring close.
