ABSTRACT
The main objective of this study was to assess patient dose during x-ray
examination of skull and thoraco-lumbar in Red Sea state Hospitals. The
dose received by 146 adult patients was measured using CALDOSE
software by entering the parameters: focus to detector distance FDD,
mAs , KVP.
The result of the study showed that the mean of ESAK were found to be
(0.79 ± 0.30) for skull and (0.37 ± 0.2) for thoraco-lumbar. The INAK
were found to be (0.52 ± 0.14) for thoracic lumbar and (0.67 ± 0.25) for
skull. The RCI were found to be (0.39 ± 0.19) for skull and (1.04 ± 0.75)
for thoraco-lumbar.
The mean ESAK values obtained are found to be within the
standardreference. The data obtained may add to the available
information in nationalrecords for general use. It may provide guidance
on where efforts on dosereduction will need to be directed to fulfill the
requirements of the optimizationprocess and serve as a reference for
future researches.
