It's worth pointing out that CT is extremely sensitive for calcium and hence bone, so that bones could be scanned at a lower Xray dose than soft tissue. 30 seconds of Googling showed a study where a whole body CT bone survey was carried out using 4.1 mSv, or about 200 chest xrays. If you're not looking for fine detail in the bones, an even lower dose might suffice.
