Assessment of Radiation Dose During Computed Tomography for Brain

Abstract

The purpose of this study to assessment radiation dose of CT scanneronbrain by calculate effective dose, then to confirm is there any differencebetween effective dose of male brain and female brain according todifferences at anatomical structure of male brain and female brain, and todeterminetypical parameter that help to reduce overdose. This study performed in Modern Medical Center, the study showed amount of average effective dose (1.26756±0.2mSv) and it's not equal or above than standard effective dose of brain (2mSv) that recommended by ICRP. Also there is no any difference between effective dose of male brain and female brain according to differences atanatomical structure of brain. The typical parameter of (Kvp and mAs) is (120Kvp) and (60-100mAs) for adult and pediatric.
