How does a trip to the dentist compare with Brazil nuts? Play along in a game of higher or lower - guess the radiation dose. Keeping you safe during Xrays and scans is something medical physicists do - one of many roles within healthcare science. Thank you to everyone working in field! #HCSWeek25

Would you like to play a game? We played a game of 'higher or lower' with our office colleagues (not in the least bit medically trained) about radiation doses. What would you choose? Pop your answer in the comments and we'll let you know the answer later.... #HCSWeek25
