Evaluation of Radiation Dose for CT Abdomen With Respect To AP Diameter and Field Of View

Abstract

This study, carried out during the period from September 2015 to February2016 .the aim of this study was to evaluate the Radiation Dose of CT Abdomen With respect To AP Diameter and Field Of View. The 100 random cases,there ages ranged from 19 to up to 60 years.Came to the CT department with request for CT abdomen. All patients scanned by CT 44 (44.0%) were male and 56 (56.0%) female. CT machine used in this study was: used Multi-slice CT scanner (Toshiba) 64slice scanner in ALamal diagnostic center ‘Alamal National Hospital From this study the result show that the AP diameter had significant role in reduction of patient dose in the CT abdomen exams and had correlation with the FOV The study concluded that AP diameter had significant role in optimizing of patient dose in the CT abdomen exams and had correlation with the FOV.
