CT improved many diagnoses of diseases. The increasing use of CT in Sudan in recent years is what has to think in the attempt to reduce the e xposure of the patient and that the risks known to the X - ray. This study aimed to evaluate the radiation dose resulting from exposure to X - rays during CT . A total of 30 patients ( adults males and females) were examined in Royal Modern Medical Center unde rgoing spiral CT scan 16 slices (in the period September 2017 - December 2017).
