Sleep soundly, for Ben is no stranger to radiation and imaging and is surely well aware of the risk profile. He mentions it briefly at 10:55 as roughly equivalent to a dental X-ray, which is pretty minor as seen on the excellent XKCD radiation dose visualization: https://xkcd.com/radiation/ https://xkcd.com/radiation/
If I recall correctly Ben's side hustle before YouTube was making non-ferrous computer peripherals for MRI machines, and his portfolio on YouTube is incredibly extensive including this one from 10 years ago where he made a CT scanner from scratch!

- ge96 4y agoI was amazed with the lcd and the vacuum metal evaporation coat applying thing
- ballenf 4y agoAlways amazed at the order of magnitude jumps in that chart. Why are mammograms 20x stronger than chest x-rays? Who would guess how much safer the nuclear energy stuff is than so many common activities? And brick/stone house doses are kind of astounding. Even after examining that chart every few years, my intuition still isn't tuned to reality.
