Assessment of Radiation Dose during CT Brain

Abstract

The purpose of this study to assessment radiation dose of CT scanner on brain by calculate effective dose , then to confirm is there any difference between effective dose of male brain and female brain according to differences at anatomical structure of male brain and female brain , and to determine typical parameter that help to reduce overdose . This study performed in Modern Medical Center , the study showed amount of average effective dose (1.26756002 mSv ± 0.2 mSv ) and it's not equal or above than standard effective dose of brain (2 mSv) that recommended by ICRP . Also there is no any difference between effective dose of male brain and female brain according to differences at anatomical structure of brain .The typical parameter of (Kvp and mAs ) is (120 Kvp) and (60 mAs -100 mAs) for adult and pediatric
