I am a 28 year old male. I want to know how much radiation do you get from fluoroscopy?

It depends on the fluoroscopy time mostly. It also depends on a setting of pulsed versus continuous. Finally it also depends on the thickness of the body part being evaluated. Most states now require some information in the report. As a general rule 1 minute of fluoroscopy is associated with 5-10 mGy of radiation.
You get the most from fluoroscopy.
